Book description
Applied psychology in work settings has made considerable progress in
the 30 years since the original version of this book was published. This
new collection of essays aims to illustrate both the empirical and
practical richness of the field as wellas its theoretical development.
The chapters cover psychological processes, the study of groups and
workteams, and the nature of complex organizations as a whole.
Reflecting recent developments in psychology as well as society
generally, topics range from skill and workload, shiftwork, personnel
selection, training and careers, and the effects of new technology,
leadership and management, to job stress and well-being, women in
employment, corporate culture and processes of organizational change.
Peter Warr is Professor of Work Psychology at the University of
Sheffield. His other publications include TRAINING THE MANAGER.
