Industrial/organisational Psychology Understanding

This upper-level text focuses on psychological issues in the work environment, including employee health and well-being, organizational behavior, motivation, human resources, and the dynamics of workplace interaction. Levy's applied approach to the subject, full integration of current changes and events in contemporary work environments, and his direct, personal tone set this text apart. Highlights of the text include thorough discussion of employee selection practices, up-to-date coverage of personnel law, and a unique chapter on criterion measurement. A good deal of attention is also paid to work-family stress, such as dual careers and onsite daycare. Most chapters include a Practitioner Forum, which provides insight from a psychologist practitioner on his or her experiences in a field relevant to the chapter topic. Each chapter begins with Learning Objectives to familiarize students with chapter goals and help them track their understanding of the concepts. Review questions help students study and think about the subject matter at a deeper level.
