In this long awaited second edition, he has out done himself. Pinder provides a thorough and critical review of the work motivation literature and he does so in engaging ways. The book is an absolute "must read" for all those seeking a better understanding of this core organizational behavior topic."-Arthur P. Brief, George S. Eccles Chair in Business Ethics, School of Business University of Utah, USA"The present and prior editions of this textbook represent a substantial feat of scholarship. The result is that the "Pinder motivation book", as it is commonly referred to in the field of organizational behavior, has become "the" essential volume to have if one is interested in studying or researching this topic."-Lyman W. Porter, University of California, Irvine, USA"I think a book on work motivation is highly desirable.  Whereas there are numerous texts on specific topics in organizational behavior such as leadership and job attitudes, I am awaare of no texts in teh area of motivation.  Thus, I think this book is definitely worthy of pubilcation. ... In sum, I think this is a worthwhile effort."- Timothy Judge, University of Florida, USA
