Accounting and Human Behaviour presents a groundbreaking examination of how accounting systems function not merely as neutral financial tools, but as powerful forces that shape — and are shaped by — the behaviour of the individuals and organisations that use them. Anthony Hopwood argues that traditional accounting frameworks are insufficient without a rigorous understanding of human psychology, motivation, and organisational dynamics, presenting a compelling case for a more behaviourally informed approach to management accounting.\n\nDrawing on the interdisciplinary currents of psychology, sociology, and organisational theory, Hopwood illustrates how budgetary control systems can generate stress, foster dysfunctional competition, and influence managerial decision-making in ways that conventional accounting theory rarely acknowledges. Written in a precise yet accessible academic style, this seminal work remains a cornerstone of behavioural accounting scholarship, challenging readers to reconsider the human dimensions embedded in every ledger, budget, and financial report. For students, academics, and practitioners alike, it poses a question that has never lost its urgency: can an accounting system ever truly be objective?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203160940763,"sku":"2026200014913-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/353f41a7-715a-463f-a9b9-ab1d663f9df6.png?v=1788144773","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014913-secondhand-accounting-and-human-behaviour","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
