Industrial and organizational psychology (I-O psychology)
contributes to an organization's success by improving the job
performance, wellbeing, motivation, job satisfaction, and the
health and safety of employees. Given the extent to which
organizations today are increasingly comprised of employees from
different cultural and language backgrounds, studying the cultural
aspect of I-O psychology has become a necessity. The post-pandemic
world in which the remote or hybrid workplace is becoming
increasingly common adds importance to the multicultural
perspective in the discipline due to the distances involved between
employees and management. The Handbook of Research on Applied
Multicultural Industrial and Organizational Psychology provides
updated research on applied I-O psychology within a culturally
conscious context that can be used for future research directions
in the field by academicians and practitioners alike. Covering
topics such as employability, motivation theories, and workplace
culture, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for
I-O psychologists, business leaders and managers, entrepreneurs,
human resource managers, government officials, students and
educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and
academicians.
