I reviewed this textbook for an undergraduate class I am teaching. I/O psychology is a broad and complex topic area, making it difficult to find a textbook that is good in each subtopic area. Landy and Conte do a great job in all areas by being fairly broad and up to date. They also do a good job of presenting the material from the perspective of the current trends in applied I/O psychology.

I would recommend this text for undergraduate courses and graduate courses too (with supplemental articles added by the instructor). The instructor support materials are a good starting point for creating lectures, exercises, and assignments. The text is student friendly with an excellent layout, good sidebars, and "module" summaries after subtopics within a chapter (making it easy to skip a subtopic).

Landy and Conte have written a refreshing book on I/O Psychology. It is clear and to the point, making it a very easy and engaging reading. It includes all the usual subjects of Industrial Psych: job analysis, performance measurement, staffing, training and development, etc. The Organizational Psych part is very good, too, covering subjects like stress, violence at work, leadership and teams, among others. This book and Muchinsky's are two of the best textbooks on I/O Psych at the present.

All but the unemployed would get a lot from reading this book, and even they might benefit. A lot of this is probably taught to management, but workers often don't know the reasons and methods behind their bosses' madness. I find that everyone is usually happier when they at least understand what is going on in an organization and why.

It is a good book that help me to solve the problems that I have had and helped me to do my thesis. Thank you for this book.

Bought the book because I need for a class. It's in excellent shape and is exactly what was required.

This was a good purchase. The book was in perfect condition, it got to me ahead of when I thought it would and it saved me over 40 dollars compared to buying it at the college bookstore. I've got 2 more semesters and grad school to go. I'll be back.

This textbook was in perfect shape and at a fantastic price. It shipped very fast as well

Great book. Very informative--at least as part of a class--with interesting side-line items as well.

This book seemed too good to be true, but it was even better than advertised! It was cheap, in perfect condition, and arrived sooner than scheduled. I would definitely order from this seller again!

i was given a copy to use from a family member and my 6 yr old has been a bookworm since. I am truly amazed at all she has learned and it has helped with school projects and her study habits.. i recommend this to any parent
