"Psychology and Work will be a valuable asset to faculty teaching industrial/organizational psychology courses. One of the most unique and exciting aspects of this textbook is that it serves as an exemplar for infusing diversity within the curriculum. Every chapter presents varying perspectives and addresses the global implications of the key topics addressed in industrial/organizational psychology. Its use of up-to-date case studies, coverage of controversial issues in the field, and questions for thought will engage students and enhance their learning."―Carolyn Springer, Adelphi University"Truxillo, Bauer, and Erdogan take a fresh perspective in Psychology and Work by keeping their audience of students firmly in focus on every page. I felt more like I was in a room with these established social scientists, hearing them enthusiastically describe this exciting field to me, than I felt like I was reading a textbook. I especially loved the ‘What do you think?’ prompts at the end of the chapters; these challenge the students to go beyond learning concepts to thinking about how to really use them in practical ways."―Lisa Finkelstein, Northern Illinois University"This book is an excellent resource for undergraduate I-O Psychology classes. The in-depth concepts are well-explained and organized in a way that really engages readers. The book also has a strong psychology emphasis, focusing on the ideas relevant to the human side of I-O Psychology."―Nicholas Salter, Ramapo College"This is a great new contribution to the world
