Summary

Presents the important concepts and findings that I/O psychologists use to help enterprises handle issues concerning their employees. Commences with an overview of the field, both as a science and a practice, and the basic principles of I/O research methods. Job analysis, assessment of staff performance, approaches organizations use to hire new employees, the relationship between the individual and the company, worker health and safety, leadership and supervision are among the topics covered. Following the international trend in the Industrial/Organizational field, the second edition of this book contains an expanded list of graduate programs outside of the United States, expanded discussions of country differences in job satisfaction and selection procedures, and a discussion of Hofstede's four cultural values.
