Book Description

ISBN-10: 1591473535 | ISBN-13: 978-1591473534 | Publication Date: January 2006 | Edition: 2

The first edition of this popular casebook reflected the complexities and increasing litigiousness of the modern workplace and was designed to stimulate thought and discussion about ethical practice in industrial and organizational psychology. Since the book was published, the APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct for Psychologists has been revised and contains new material of particular relevance to organizational consultants. This second edition of the book has been updated to reflect the provisions of the new code. Illustrated by case examples based on real-life situations, this volume covers personnel selection, organizational diagnosis and intervention, consulting relationships, research and academic issues, professional training and certification, billing and marketing, and the ethics of professional behavior. The Ethical Practice of Psychology in Organizations makes ethical thinking come alive and belongs on the bookshelf of every I/O psychologist, human resource professional, and graduate student in I/O and business programs.

This review is from: Ethical Practice of Psychology in Organizations (Society for Industrial & Organizational Psychology (SIOP)) (Paperback)

This is a book that all professionals and graduate students in Industrial Psychology and Human Resource Consulting should read. I have used this book, or the earlier version, as a required text in my courses. The authors do an excellent job of showing how the ethical principles can be applied to practical problems, although the coverage appears to be more aimed at practitioners than researchers. The book covers most of the important issues. However, in future editions, I would like to see expanded coverage of issues of informed consent, intellectual property, and problems encountered by students doing research in organizations (the reason for 4 rather than 5 stars).
