Summary:Behavior in organizations is complex and dynamic in ways that are not easily observable or predictable. Computational modeling is a promising research method that bridges the gap between field and laboratory, demonstrating the final effects of complex interactions. This book addresses the reticence of researchers to use computational modeling, advocating the wider use of this tool. Contributing authors describe their pioneering work in using computational modeling to study a wide range of problems, such as employee withdrawal; faking on personality tests; the formation, continuation, and dissolution of groups; and organizational change.
