In recent years, evolutionary psychology and behavioral genetics
have emerged as prominent theoretical perspectives within the
social sciences. Yet despite broad levels of commonality between
the disciplines—including an emphasis on adaptation, evolved
mechanisms that guide behavior, and consequences of mismatch
between these mechanisms and novel environments—studies that
apply these perspectives on social behavior to organizations
remain relatively rare.

The Biological Foundations of Organizational Behavior
brings together contributors who shed light on the potential that
behavioral genetics and evolutionary psychology offer for studies
of organizational behavior. In addition to examining the extant
literature integrating these disciplines and organizational
behavior, the book reconsiders a wide range of topics through the
lens of biology within organizational behavior, including
decision making, leadership and hierarchy, goals and collective
action, and individual difference. Contributions also explore new
areas of potential application and provide a critical assessment
of the challenges that lie ahead. With accessible insights for
scholars and practitioners,
