Book Description: From soldiering and absenteeism to humour in organizations and the emergent of politics of sexuality: the many different forms of subversive behaviour in organizations are explored in this book in the context of the new light they shed on management and organizational processes. Misbehaviour the authors conclude is endemic to organizations, and like the behaviour of managers themselves, arises from recognition that the interests of employees and those of their employing organizations do not preciseley correspond. The neglect of the subject in orthodox studies of organizational behaviour reveals the normative base of the discipline.The book begins by criticizing orthodox organizational analysis and mapping out the wide terrain across which organizational misbehaviour occurs. The authors go on to show the interconnection between pursuit of self interest and processes of identity formation by workgroups. The close links between identity formation, the pursuit of autonomy and organizational misbehaviour are made clear and the tendency to misbehave is recoginized as being deeply embedded in organizational life.This contemporary analysis of some of the newest forms of organizational subversion offers fresh understanding of the underlying dynamics of organization.
