Surveys - ultimately should be about performance. This book makes the link.

Another straightforward guide - co-authored by the editor (Kraut) of the above volume. A better bet.

Emphasis is on Quality Management, of course, but good book on organisational diagnostics.

Connolly gets deeper into the nuts and bolts.

One of the few good books to comprehensively look at the breadth of methods - not just quant surveys.

Surveys are usually underpinned by issues of organisational change. Kotter is THE man.

Case study approach - an excellent text, well rated, and very appropriate to organisational research. Don't just think in terms of surveys!

Lighter reading but very highly rated by many. What makes some organisations truly great? Excellent backgrounder for organisational researchers.

Using Social Network Analysis to uncover the real dynamics inside organisation. Excellent book - but does that Harvard trick of pretending that it "owns" the subject.

Another from Connolly. Cookie Cutter surveys - just be sure they're truly relevant to your organisation. Don't do surveys just to do surveys. They're about decisions and change.

SAGE Publishing deliver reliable, clear (if somewhat dry) textbooks - and this one (3rd edition) is recommended.

A swift read, interesting segmentation of organisational types - though don't forget, most organisations include many different cultures (sales versus admin departments for example.)

Good "how to" guide for the sometimes tricky practice of organizational research. Very practical - with real examples, which is useful, because it is hard to do employee and organizational surveys without the occasional ego feeling threatened. A reality check can help.
