Description

AN INTRODUCTION TO CONTEMPORARY WORK PSYCHOLOGY "[This book] provides a comprehensive introduction to the field, featuring contributions from around the world.

Not only is the book well-written, it is also very readable and entertaining and provides a thorough and scholarly introduction to all aspects of the field.

I strongly and unreservedly endorse and recommend it."—Anthony Harold Winefield, PhD, Professor of Psychology, University of South Australia "Work behaviour is crucial to our health and well-being and to organizational performance.

Work also impacts on our behaviour outside work and on family life.

With contributions of many of the world's leading experts, this strong editorial team has produced the first standard book on work psychology: the scientific study of work behaviour and its antecedents and consequences.

It is a must for anyone seriously interested in work, work behaviour and people at work."—Michiel Kompier, Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology, Radboud University Nijmegen An Introduction to Contemporary Work Psychology is the first textbook to provide a comprehensive overview of work psychology.

Moving beyond the terrain of introductory industrial/organizational psychology textbooks, this book examines the classic models, current theories and contemporary issues affecting the twenty-first-century worker. This text covers all aspects of the psychology of working, including topics such as safety at work, working times, work–family interaction, recovery from work, technology, job demands and job resources, working in teams and sickness absence.

While many books in the field focus on the adverse effects of work, this one is unique in emphasizing also the positive aspects and outcomes of work, including motivation, performance, creativity and engagement.

The book also contains chapters on job-related prevention and intervention strategies with a special focus on positive interventions and proactive techniques, such as job crafting and promoting positive work behaviours. Edited by respected leaders in the field and with chapters written by a global team of experts, this is the textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on work psychology.
