Excellent up-to-date book,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Introduction to Work and Organizational Psychology: A European Perspective (Paperback)
This book is one of the best introductions to the field of work and organizational psychology up to now. The editor of this edition, Nik Chmiel (institue of work psychology, Sheffield), has brought together experts from all over Europe to write a chapter on their special area of research. These include: History and Context for Work and Organizational Psychology; Roles and Methods; Job Analysis and Design; Personnel Selection; Training; Performance Appraisal: Assessing and Developing Performance and Potential; Job Stress and Health; Workload and Task Allocation; Work Experience and Performance; The Design and Use of Work Technology; Safety at Work; Leadership and Management; Motivation in the Workplace; Organizational Change and Development; Against all Odds: Managing Diversity; Job Performance and the Ageing Workforce; The Changing Nature of Work. The book is concisely but well written, the chapters can be read independently and are abounding with information. There are of course differences between the chapters qualities, but these can be neglected: the overall level is high. It is a book I honestly recommend to any student of work and organizational psychology. You will not regret to buy it!
