Secondary referencing
Buchanan and Huczynski (2010, p.280) refer to
Herzberg (1968) who argued that improving hygiene
factors such as working conditions can remove
dissatisfaction in the workplace but is unlikely to
increase motivation.
You can refer to the original source but only
reference the book you have read
Organisational Behaviour Tutorial | Library Business Team| November 2015
Behaviour depends on a variety of influencing factors,
including values and beliefs and what each individual sees as
motivating factors, so attitudes are not always reflected in
behaviour. For instance, if a person has a positive emotional
reaction to a management innovation, we could say that
person may feel greater commitment to the job or organisation.
If, however, that person is influenced by co-workers who are
not like-minded, and the person values their relationship with
those co-workers, then the positive attitude may not be
reflected in subsequent behaviour.(Foot and Hook, 2011, p.89).

management. 6th edn. Harlow: Financial Times Prentice Hall.

Moving around the order of the words in the
sentence or exchanging a few words with
alternative words is NOT paraphrasing.
The aim is to re-write the text in your own
words usually to make it shorter but to still
retain the sense of the original.
Paraphrasing
Organisational Behaviour Tutorial | Library Business Team| November 2015
Foot and Hook (2011, p.89)
point out that in the
workplace people’s attitudes
do not always match their
behaviour. They suggest that
an employee with a positive
reaction to change may be
influenced by the less
positive attitudes of others
with whom they work and
are friends with, and that
their behaviour may reflect
this.

point out that behaviour at
work is dependent on a
variety of influencing factors.
A person’s attitudes are not
always reflected in their
behaviour. If a person is
influenced by co-workers
who are not like-minded then
their former positive attitude
may not be reflected in their
subsequent behaviour.

• Is there such a thing as too many sources?
• Can I add more than one source to make the
same point?A number of authors (Mullins, 2011; Huczynski and
Buchanan, 2013)…….
• If I use something other than a book or a
journal or a website, how do I know how to
reference it?
