Although the topic of job attitudes and other workplace
psychological constructs such as perceptions, identity, bonds, and
motivational states is important, there are no books addressing the
topic as a whole. Essentials of Job Attitudes and Other Workplace
Psychological Constructs seeks to fill that void in a comprehensive
edited volume that compiles chapters by experts on each construct.
Essentials of Job Attitudes and Other Workplace Psychological
Constructs begins with a review of the concept of job attitudes and
other workplace psychological constructs, then devotes a single
chapter to each construct. These chapters focus on organizational
justice, perceived organizational support, organizational
identification, job involvement, workplace commitments, job
embeddedness, job satisfaction, employee engagement, and
team-related work attitudes. Each of these chapters addresses
parallel content including definitions, history, theory, a critique
of the field to date with future research recommendations, and how
the given construct can be used in practice. There are two
additional features that make this book unique: first, each chapter
provides a nomological network figure of the workplace
psychological construct addressed; and second, each chapter
provides one or more of the current measures used to assess the
construct of interest. Essentials of Job Attitudes and Other
Workplace Psychological Constructs is an ideal text for students
and professionals in industrial-organizational psychology,
organizational behavior, and human resource management.

Workplace aggression is a serious problem for workers and their
employers. As such, an improved scientific understanding of
workplace aggression has important implications. This volume, which
includes chapters written by leading workplace aggression scholars,
addresses three primary topics: the measurement, predictors and
consequences of workplace aggression; the social context of
workplace aggression; and the prevention of workplace aggression.
Of note, the book encompasses the various labels used by
researchers to refer to workplace aggression, such as 'abusive
supervision', 'bullying', 'incivility' and 'interpersonal
conflict'. This approach differs from those of previous books on
the topic in that it does not focus on a particular type of
workplace aggression, but covers an intentionally broad
conceptualization of workplace aggression - specifically, it
considers aggression from both the aggressors' and the targets'
perspectives and includes behaviors enacted by several types of
perpetrators, including supervisors, coworkers and customers.
