Psychology in the Work Context 4e is a thorough introductory text
for students of industrial and organisational (IO) psychology. The
book provides a comprehensive conceptual framework for
understanding work behaviour and relationships at work. It makes
use of work-related examples and applications pertinent to the
South African context and culture-specific issues are discussed
where relevant. The fourth edition of Psychology in the Work
Context has been streamlined while referring to current thinking in
and about psychology and industrial psychology.
Features and benefits:
. The book maintains a balance between the discipline of psychology
and the work context as serves the needs of first-year I-O
Psychology and HR students. This means that the reader does not
simply study HR processes but is equipped with a theoretical
framework from which to analyse issues in the work place.
. There are extensive work-related examples (such as the
'neurotic imposter phenomenon') many of which deal with issues
pertinent to SA (such as learning-potential testing). This lays the
foundations for students to use I-O psychology in their
careers.
. Cultural issues are discussed (such as culture-bound syndromes
in psychopathology). This develops career-facing students, equipped
to work with diversity in a multicultural workforce. Different
types of information boxes break the text into manageable sections
and guide students in applying their minds to the concepts
discussed.
. There are also different types of assessment activities,
including case studies, questions for discussion and practice, and
multiple choice questions, which enhance the reader's understanding
of concepts and applications in the work context, and also
personalise the learning context.
. The book contains a glossary of updated key concepts in
English and Afrikaans-- this acts as a quick reference to students
to check that they have worked through all the concepts covered in
the textbook."
