Review: Organizational or work psychology is the study of how organizations influence the thoughts (beliefs, values), feelings (emotions) and behaviour of all those working in an organization. This textbook for students of organizational behaviour begins by explaining the assumptions, premises and terminology used. It goes on to relate the history of the topic. There are chapters on: vocational choice, organizational selection and socialization; personality and differences in individuals; work-related attitudes; work motivation and satisfaction; stress at work; cooperation, power and ethical behaviour; learning and training at work; group dynamics; decision-making; leadership; culture at work; organizational structure, change and development; working abroad; and the future of work.
