This superb introduction to the field of organizational psychology and
organizational behaviour builds on the foundation of the highly
successful first edition to provide up-to-date explanations of all the
key topics in a clear, coherent and accessible style. The text is
supported by numerous illustrations and examples as well as
end-of-chapter summaries and concluding remarks. Topic sections on key
research studies, as well as applied aspects such as human resources
applications and cross-cultural issues, lead the reader through the
complexities of the theory to its practical application.
The Psychology of Behaviour at Work covers all major topics in the
field, from vocational choice, personality, attitudes, motivation and
stress, to cooperation, learning, training, group dynamics, decision
making and leadership. Further sections introduce corporate culture and
climate, as well as organisational structure, change and development,
and a final section outlines predictions not only for the future study
of organizational psychology, but of the future of work itself.
As with the first edition, The Psychology of Behaviour at Work will
prove to be an invaluable resource for psychology students on work and
organizational psychology courses, business students on organizational
behaviour courses, and human resources managers eager to expand their
knowledge of this fascinating field.
