Details

Paul Spector's Industrial and Organizational Psychology: Research and Practice provides students with an understanding of the whole field of I/O psychology by balancing its treatment of both practice and research. The author establishes connections between concepts, both within and across various chapters, making important concepts and findings from the field more understandable. The Fifth Edition builds on the success of its prior four editions, adding new material and new topics, with more than 150 new references. The text continues to focus on providing a clear, understandable, up-to-date text that covers the core material of the field while including the most cutting-edge topics, including technology, internationalization, skilled labor shortages, and occupational health psychology.

Features:

  • Learning By Doing exercises actively engage the student with the material in the chapter, asking the student to address an I/O issue or answer a particular question.
  • Research in Detail summaries of particular research studies give added insight to each chapter.
  • International Replications feature detailed summaries of research studies conducted outside the United States to explore the extent to which American research generalizes to other countries.
