Organizational Effectiveness: The Role of Psychology examines
psychological approaches in organizations, not from the more common
perspective of their impact on individuals, but in relation to how
the work of psychologists impacts on the overall effectiveness of
the organization.
It also provides a critical review of what psychology has to
offer; the way psychologists choose the problems they address, work
with others, and evaluate and demonstrate the impact they have.
Robertson, Callinan and Bartram have brought together leading
researchers and practitioners in work and organizational
psychology. Each chapter provides a review of current knowledge,
practice, issues and future directions in their own area of
expertise, with a focus on contributions and implications for
organizational functioning and the wider arena of managerial
thinking.
This book is for anyone interested in understanding the complex
relations between individual, group and organisational performance
and effectiveness. It is a valuable and challenging resource for
advanced students and practitioners of occupational psychology,
organizational behaviour, HRM, and psychological consultancy in
organizations.
