Reviews

'I congratulate the authors of this book for their comprehensive coverage of all aspects of behaviour at work. Although primarily written to be a textbook, and written by teachers of organisational psychology, it is by no means dry and academic.' People Management 'I recommend it for use particularly in graduate courses and for advance undergraduate courses. Corporations that provide their own in-house training and development programmes should also give this book serious consideration.' Journal of Occupational and Organisational Psychology.
