Alexander Abdennur's observations show people avoiding open discourse, taking segmented positions, and hiding behind organizational structures. After reviewing two universally occurring and challenging developments--complexity and camouflage--Abdennur recommends a cognitive approach for the management of workplace hostility in organizations. Professors and students of psychology, organizational behaviour, and criminology will find this a necessary and insightful resource."-- UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=2629477 ER -
