Review
“Besides thorough coverage, Work in the 21st Century, 2nd edition, stands out in six ways. It is … reader-friendly, colorful, well-supported, and modular. Landy and Conte use an informal, often conversational style, rich with examples, cases, [and] drawings … .[The book] focuses on the individual at work in a multicultural environment, a clear strength. Bottom line, if you teach I-O psychology and want the best available coverage, I believe you’ll end up where I did, with Landy and Conte’s Work in the 21st Century, 2nd edition.”
Personnel Psychology<!--end-->“The book and its authors reflect the scientist-practitioner model. Up-to-date research findings explain what we know about I-O psychology, and the many practical examples show clearly how principles of I-O psychology are applied in the workplace.” Wayne F. Cascio, University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center
“This introductory textbook by Landy and Conte is by far the best textbook available. It is up-to-date, cross-cultural with an international orientation, and very well written and understandable. I've adopted it for my course.” Michael Frese, University of Giessen and London Business School
Review
"Thoroughly refreshed and updated, this new edition is even better than the last one. At the same time, it retains its wonderful historical perspective, a writing style that connects with the audience by using situations and examples that readers can relate to, and a laser-like focus on the scientist-practitioner model as an underlying framework."
–Wayne Cascio, University of Colorado Denver
"This textbook provides an excellent introduction to I-O psychology. Landy and Conte do a masterful job of balancing the historical foundations, contemporary research, and practical applications of I-O psychology."
–Brian C. Holtz, Rutgers University – Camden
"Landy and Conte provide an up-to-date and accessible introduction to industrial/organizational psychology. Practical examples and integration of material across chapters are key features of the textbook."
