The Psychology of Work and Human Performance

Suitable for business and psychology students, this introduction to industrial organizational psychology emphasizes productivity and performance. The scientist-practitioner model is used to show how theories are developed through research and are then translated into applications. This edition features expanded and up-to-the-minute research on topical issues like changes in workplace demographics, drug testing and genetic screening, AIDS in the workplace and a whole chapter offering an in-depth examination of women and minorities. Many real-life examples tie the material together. An instructor's manual is also available.
