5.0 out of 5 stars
Broad albeit detailed, July 24, 2000

This review is from: Personality at Work: Individual Differences in the Workplace (Paperback)
This book covers comprehensive areas in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, such as, vocational choice, work motivation and satisfaction, and selection, to which how personality relates. Based mainly upon Eysenck's personality model, Dr, Furnham clearly depicts the richness of past empirical research in each field, venturing to generalize the causal model of personality and the results. Good for practitioners who cannot completely agree with the statement "Every employee's behavior is determined MOSTLY by situational factors," and further, essential for Graduate students interested in "dispositional approach." P.S. -- I personally like Dr. Furnham's unique figure, "Characteristics which separate the two worlds -- academics and consultants" (p.xx). Must see!
