Description
Grounded in research but balanced with applications, this text focuses on productivity and performance.

The third edition contains new information on: Interviews (Chapter 3); Personality Assessment (Chapter 4); Organizational Commitment (Chapter 8); and Organizational Citizenship (Chapter 12), as well as new coverage of affirmative action, downsizing, 360 degree feedback, psychological contract and e-mail.
