Editorial Reviews

Review

"Nik Chmiel's Introduction to Work and Organisational Psychology is an excellent introductory text, covering all the main subject areas that are of interest to students in occupational psychology throughout Europe. Each chapter is well written and reflects the up-to-date topics and literature in this growing and important subject area." Cary L. Cooper, Manchester School of Management

"This is a useful introductory textbook for students at both postgraduate and undergraduate level studying either psychology or business. Work and Organizational Psychology...provides a useful review of the theory and research within the field. The use of chapter outlines, summaries and discussion points is constructive. The dictionary is also of value. Overall, the book is wide ranging in terms of scope and interest. It offers useful material from a number of contributors on many aspects of work and organizational psychology and is an accessible read for both practitioners and and academics and psychologists and non-psychologists alike." Abigail Marks, University of Strathclyde, in Empoyee Relations, Vol 22

"This is a very worthwhile text. It is well written and well organized. It highlights the best of North American I/O psychology, with up-to-date, relevant European material, and it is written by some of Europe's leading work and organizational psychologists. The book is well integrated, a pleasure to read, and will make a good addition to any undergraduate or graduate student's library." Contemporary Psychology, APA Review of Books, October 2001

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!
