The gender and racial composition of the American workforce is
rapidly changing. As more women in particular enter the workforce
and as they enter jobs that have traditionally been dominated by
men, issues related to sex and gender in work settings have become
increasingly important and complex. Research addressing sex and
gender in the workplace is conducted in several distinct
disciplines, ranging from psychology and sociology to management
and economics. Further, books on gender at work often reflect
either a more traditional management perspective or a more recent
feminist perspective; rarely however, are these two orientations on
women and work acknowledged within the same text. Thus, the
principle goal of the book is to communicate a variety of social
psychological literatures and research on gender issues that affect
work behaviors to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students
in applied psychology and business.

Organizations of all sizes face the challenge of accurately and fairly evaluating performance in the workplace. Performance Appraisal and Management distills the best available research and translates those findings into practical, concrete strategies. This text explores common obstacles and why certain performance appraisal methods often fail. Using a strategic, evidence-based approach, the authors outline best practices for avoiding common pitfalls and help organizations achieve their maximum potential. Cases, exercises, and spotlight boxes on timely issues like cyberbullying in the workplace and appraising team performance provides readers with opportunities to hone their critical thinking and decision-making skills.
Based on a previous book by the same authors, Understanding Performance Appraisal delineates a social-psychological model of the appraisal process that emphasizes the goals pursued by raters, ratees, and the various users of performance appraisal. The authors apply this goal-oriented perspective to developing, implementing, and evaluating performance appraisal systems. This perspective also emphasizes the context in which appraisal occurs and demonstrates that the shortcomings of performance appraisal are in fact sensible adaptations to its various requirements, pressures, and demands. Relevant research is summarized and recommendations are offered for future research and applications. Graduate-level students, organizational development consultants and trainers, human resource managers, faculty and scholars, and psychologists in human resource management as well as other professionals who conduct research on performance appraisal programs will find this book not only interesting but also a valuable resource.
