Striking a balance between research, theory, and application, the sixth edition of INDUSTRIAL/ORGANIZATIONAL PSYCHOLOGY: AN APPLIED APPROACH prepares readers for success on the job through a combination of scholarship, humor, case studies, and practical applications. Readers will be able to relate to industrial/organizational psychology by viewing such practical applications as how to write a resume, survive an employment interview, write a job description, create a performance appraisal instrument, and motivate employees. Charts and tables are integrated throughout to simplify such complicated issues as employment law, job satisfaction, work motivation and leadership.
