"Applied sciences are ever put to prove that 'theoretical
application' is not an oxymoron. Editors Cooper and Locke bring
this issue to light in the field of I/O psychology. The editors
focus the attention of an estimable group of organizational
scientists and practitioners upon a broad array of important
organizational problems. The result is an electric exchange that
gives both theory and practice a run for the money. This volume
should be a staple for the field for years to come." Lance
Sandelands, Department of Psychology, University of
Michigan.
"Industrial and Organizational Psychology, broaches many of the issues discussed in the context of organisational crisis. In this case the overarching connection between the 13 articles is the application of organisational psychology to specific organisational problems. Motivations, stress, organisational justice, team effectiveness, leadership, job satisfaction, goal setting and performance are the main areas addressed, Although these are familiar themes, there is a concerted attempt by the authors to link theory with practice - something my MBA students implore me to do..... The articles are of a good standard and the book should make useful reading for anyone seeking to put some empirical and practical flesh on the theoretical bones of organizational psychology."
