Very Useful and Informative.......2003-11-14
Review: This book attempts to describe the major fields in industrial/organizational psychology. For a textbook designed for use in an introductory-level course, it does its job fairly well.
This book is very easy to use, and utilizes most of the more common aids to direct the reader to the most-salient information in each chapter, such as using bold-face for definitions and breaking the chapter up into several sections. It also provides a tremendous amount of additional information used to strengthen and support what is presented in each chapter. Most of this work is accomplished using the sides of each page, which is common in most current textbooks. The sheer number of visual aids used throughout the book is impressive, and despite the frequency with which they are used, they are usually helpful.
The single greatest fault that I can raise with this textbook is that, quite simply, the scope is so broad. Its purpose is to present the reader with a brief exposure to each of the major fields in I-O Psychology, and it succeeds in doing this. However, many of the chapters feel a little too general, especially towards the end of the book, when the authors are still presenting more subsets of I-O Psychology. Several chapters are used in the front of the book to give the reader a working terminology for the book and a basic theoretical framework needed to better understand some of the more difficult concepts in this field. Since the book never moves beyond an introduction to all these subsets of I-O Psychology, however, it seems as if some of this information could be trimmed down so that more depth could be achieved in some of the later chapters. Of course, the danger with this approach might be that the book would move beyond the purpose for which it was intended.
For the most part, this is a well-constructed, informative textbook, and serves to introduce its readers to I-O Psychology. The chapters flow very well, and the textbook is broken down nicely so that the reader is never overwhelmed with too much information at one sitting. Some chapters are more effective than others, and some of the introductory chapters seem a bit unnecessary, but those are essentially the book's only failings.
This is a good textbook that I would recommend to anyone looking for information on I-O Psychology. At the very least, it will help readers determine where their true interest is in this field and provide them with a good working vocabulary as well.
Book Description
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.
Book Description
Published in its First Edition 20 years ago, PSYCHOLOGY APPLIED TO WORK is the long-time market leader in the field of I/O psychology and has become the definitive standard for textbooks in this field. A significant revision, the Seventh Edition continues the text?s tradition of providing a highly readable and understandable framework for the teaching and learning of I/O psychology at the undergraduate level. Muchinsky?s text is renowned for its balanced blend of science and practice, based on the most current knowledge in the field, citing more than 800 references, the majority of which were published in the last five years. Case studies, field notes, and examples based on actual organizations illustrate and bring to life the relevance of I/O psychology to students? daily lives. This new edition enables students to understand the social, cultural, and structural changes affecting the world of work as it applies to employees and employers.
Customer Reviews:
Important work. .......2006-03-30
Quite good. Important forum where day-to-day issues that come up in a workplace are tackled in a no-nonsence manner and explained in an integral causational respect.
Refund???!!!!!???.......2005-10-03
My review for this item is a bad one because I purchased the book and then right before it was supposed to arrive in my hands they initiate a refund because they are "unable to fulfill your order." I was not pleased. So my advice to you, be careful, they might have an "inventory discrepancy" and therefore you will not get the book you purchased.
The Best Book on I/O Psych.......2003-05-20
This is the best book available on Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I have used it for several years. I enjoy it, and my students enjoy as well.
Dr. Michael Beitler
Author of "Strategic Organizational Change"
Writing uncomplicated but too theoretical.......1999-05-01
I think that they should have presented a more applicable, rather than theoretical, approach to the foundations of work. However, it covered a variety of topics and the tables were superb.

Excellent up-to-date book.......2000-08-19
This book is one of the best introductions to the field of work and organizational psychology up to now. The editor of this edition, Nik Chmiel (institue of work psychology, Sheffield), has brought together experts from all over Europe to write a chapter on their special area of research. These include: History and Context for Work and Organizational Psychology; Roles and Methods; Job Analysis and Design; Personnel Selection; Training; Performance Appraisal: Assessing and Developing Performance and Potential; Job Stress and Health; Workload and Task Allocation; Work Experience and Performance; The Design and Use of Work Technology; Safety at Work; Leadership and Management; Motivation in the Workplace; Organizational Change and Development; Against all Odds: Managing Diversity; Job Performance and the Ageing Workforce; The Changing Nature of Work. The book is concisely but well written, the chapters can be read independently and are abounding with information. There are of course differences between the chapters qualities, but these can be neglected: the overall level is high. It is a book I honestly recommend to any student of work and organizational psychology. You will not regret to buy it!
