The first edition of this classic book put misbehaviour on the academic map. This second edition lives up to its predecessor: but rather than a simple update it extends the argument to important new areas such as managerial, corporate and professional misbehaviour. It does so in insightful, engaging and provocative ways. It is essential reading for anyone with an interest in this important field. 

This meticulously researched and updated book is more than the very welcome second edition of a pathbreaking contribution. This book delivers gold standard analysis and insights to the challenges and dynamics of the contemporary workplace. It is sure to become a classic for those seeking to understand workers; their work lives and change-seeking activities. 

When Organisational Misbehaviour first appeared, it had an enormous impact on working life research.  The authors have done much more than just update the analysis. With new theoretical insights and empirical fields opened up for analysis (now including such areas as management misbehaviour and bullying at work), this edition promises to have the same effect. 

The new edition of Organisational Misbehaviour is most welcome. This book has informed many investigations over the last two decades and I am sure it will do the same in the years to come. The authors succeed in grasping both the variety of these informal behaviours, their commonalities and raison d'être, which is a challenging exercise that has been accomplished to great effect. 

Over the past 23 years, the first edition of Organisational Misbehaviour has become a classic in the sociology of work. In updating their arguments to reflect cutting-edge academic developments and empirical debates, and by making significant new conceptual arguments, this second edition ensures that Organisational Misbehaviour will remain essential reading for the next 23 years.

I like this book a lot. It is well written, well produced and has some new vibrant material within its pages...I recommend that readers of this journal read this book in its second iteration.

Overall, the book is very good and has been worth the wait… (it) will remain extremely attractive for students, academics and organisation practitioners.
