Psychology and Work Today, 11th Edition is an exciting update of a
well-loved textbook that introduces industrial and organizational
psychology, explaining how industrial-organizational psychologists
make work and working better. This accessible and informative text
explains how industrial-organizational psychologists help
organizations hire the best people by designing tests and
interviews that uncover the skills and abilities of applicants,
make work better by removing or reducing safety issues and sources
of stress so that personnel are motivated and able to perform to
their abilities, and work with managers and leaders to be more
effective at leading others. This book also describes how
industrial-organizational psychologists work with organizations to
embrace diversity in the workforce and celebrate the strengths that
employees from many backgrounds bring to organizations. In
addition, this text includes how psychologists help organizations
to design the physical work environment to best suit employees,
while other psychologists help organizations to market their
products and services to consumers. This text covers both the
essential and traditional industrial-organizational psychology
topic areas such as job analysis, employee selection, and work
motivation as well as topic areas that are important in workplaces
today such as stress and well-being, human factors, and preparing
for jobs of the future. The chapter on consumer psychology remains
unique to this textbook. This new edition includes coverage of
employable skills desired by hiring managers and executives; the
ways the highly publicized replicability crisis has affected the
science and practice of I-O psychology; online and mobile
employment testing; diversity and inclusion throughout the
workplace, including microaggressions; preparing people and
organizations for jobs of the future; incivility and harassment at
work, including abusive supervision; safety climate and employee
health; and advertising on social media and video games. Including
many illustrative examples of industrial-organizational psychology
in real-world workplaces, the 11th Edition is thoroughly updated to
include the latest theory, research, and practice on each key
topic. Each chapter features defined key terms, a chapter outline,
a chapter summary, review questions, annotated additional reading,
and engaging Newsbreak sections. The book will be of interest to
undergraduate students in introduction I-O psychology or psychology
of work behaviour courses.
