This review is from: Handbook of Industrial, Work and Organizational Psychology: Personnel Psychology (Volume 1) (Hardcover)

I bought this book as a requisite for a class (like a textbook), and I'm not the only one who thinks that the book is not helpful to understand any subject, just to know what the "recent" (not so recent, since the studies they use are pretty old) contrversies and points of view are. It might be good for professional in IO, but not at all for srudents, not even for graduates students (like we are).
