Industrial/Organizational Psychology: Understanding the Workplace

by Paul E. Levy

This upper-level text focuses on psychological issues in the work environment, including employee health and well-being, organizational behavior, motivation, human resources, and the dynamics of workplace interaction. Levy's applied approach to the subject, full integration of current changes and events in contemporary work environments, and his direct, personal tone set this text apart. Highlights of the text include thorough discussion of employee selection practices, up-to-date coverage of personnel law, and a unique chapter on criterion measurement. A good deal of attention is also paid to work-family stress, such as dual careers and onsite daycare.
