Product Description
The first edition of this popular casebook reflected the complexities and increasing litigiousness of the modern workplace and was designed to stimulate thought and discussion about ethical practice in industrial and organizational psychology. Since the book was published, the APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct for Psychologists has been revised and contains new material of particular relevance to organizational consultants. This second edition of the book has been updated to reflect the provisions of the new code. Illustrated by case examples based on real-life situations, this volume covers personnel selection, organizational diagnosis and intervention, consulting relationships, research and academic issues, professional training and certification, billing and marketing, and the ethics of professional behavior. The Ethical Practice of Psychology in Organizations makes ethical thinking come alive and belongs on the bookshelf of every I/O psychologist, human resource professional, and graduate student in I/O and business programs. ...

Satisfied
This book offered me all the information I needed to complete a very successful doctorate paper.If you are a organizational psychologist this is a great book to have as a resource.

GREAT DEAL
Book was in fabulous condition at a greatly reduced price from the college bookstore.Shipping was speedy and I had my book before many other students who had bought from the school bookstore.

Required Reading for Psychologists in Organizations
This is a book that all professionals and graduate students in Industrial Psychology and Human Resource Consulting should read. I have used this book, or the earlier version, as a required text in my courses. The authors do an excellent job of showing how the ethical principles can be applied to practical problems, although the coverage appears to be more aimed at practitioners than researchers. The book covers most of the important issues.However, in future editions, I would like to see expanded coverage of issues of informed consent, intellectual property, and problems encountered by students doing research in organizations (the reason for 4 rather than 5 stars).

Product Description
The world of work in the 21st century is very different from what it was as recently as ten years ago.Today's workplace is technological and multi-cultural.Work is often accomplished by teams rather than by single individuals.The computer dominates the workplace.In any given company or department, we find greater diversity in terms of demographic characteristics, interests, and styles than in past decades.Although mental and physical abilities remain important attributes for predicting job success, personality and interpersonal skills are receiving increased attention.A satisfying life is now defined as striking a balance between work and non-work.In addition, the psychological stability of work may be at an all-time low.Mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, outsourcing, and radically changing technologies have all made the idea of life-long employment at one company, or even in one occupation, much less likely than in earlier times.All of these themes will appear in the text and will be tied together in a way that acknowledges the rich and intriguing nature of the modern workplace.Combining top-notch research, consulting, and teaching credentials, Landy and Conte's goal is to provide students with an up-to-date knowledge base that helps them become sophisticated consumers when the principles of I-O psychology are applied in the workplace.Students will gain familiarity with I-O psychology concepts, and they will become critical evaluators of contemporary issues and research so that their education carries well past the conclusion of the course. ...

Boring Subject = Boring Book
Industrial and organizational psychology is a pretty boring subject (at least for me) and this book does the best it can with the subject matter. It's well organized and easy to reference, with a glossary of terms in the back and a good index. It's a great textbook for a class but it's definitely not something I would pick up for some fun reading. ... Read more

Product Description

"This book provides one of the clearest treatments of correlations and regression of any statistics book I have seen. . . . Bobko has achieved his objective of making the topics of correlation and regression accessible to students. . . . For someone looking for a very clearly written treatment of applied correlation and regression, this book would be an excellent choice."

--Paul E. Spector, University of South Florida

"As a quantitative methods instructor, I have reviewed and used many statistical textbooks. This textbook and approach is one of the very best when it comes to user-friendliness, approachability, clarity, and practical utility."

--Steven G. Rogelberg, Bowling Green State University

Building on the classical examples in the first edition, this updated edition provides students with an accessible textbook on statistical theories in correlation and regression. Taking an applied approach, the author uses concrete examples to help the student thoroughly understand how statistical techniques work and how to creatively apply them based on specific circumstances they face in the "real world."

The author uses a layered approach in each chapter, first offering the student an intuitive understanding of the problems or examples and progressing through to the underlying statistics. This layered approach and the applied examples provide students with the foundation and reasoning behind each technique, so they will be able to use their own judgement to effectively choose from the alternative data analytic options.
