This is the nineteenth in the most prestigious series of annual
volumes in the field of industrial and organizational psychology.
The series provides authoritative and integrative reviews of the
key literature of industrial psychology and organizational
behaviour. The chapters are written by established experts and
topics are carefully chosen to reflect the major concerns in the
research literature and in current practice.
This volume provides both reviews and current updates of research
in familiar areas, such as Learning and Development at Work,
Creating Healthy Workplaces, Empowerment and Performance, and Team
Effectiveness. Newer topics are also included, such as Virtual
Teams, the Workplace Experiences of Lesbian and Gay Employees, and
Identification in Organizational Contexts. Each chapter offers a
comprehensive and critical survey of the chosen topic, and each is
supported by a valuable bibliography. For advanced students,
academics, and researchers, as well as professional psychologists
and managers, this remains the most authoritative and current guide
to developments and established knowledge in the field of
industrial and organizational psychology.
