"This excellent resource is as useful for students as for researchers and field practitioners needing information on research methods, training and development, staffing and organizational development, and team building. Strongly recommended for public and academic libraries."

"Written in accessible language, this new work is most appropriate for undergraduates and graduate students seeking to understand the concepts basic to the field, but it will be helpful for researchers and practitioners in need of straightforward explanations of I/O psychology concepts. Essential."
