Reviews

Although 'passion' is familiar to all of us, until recently our psychological understanding was poor. This changed radically with the introduction of the dualistic model of passion by Vallerand and Houlfort some 15 years ago. This book offers an excellent overview on the theoretical thinking on passion and brings together state-of-the-art research from eminent scholars who applied the dualistic model to I/O psychology. A must-read for anyone who wants to understand human passion at work! * Wilmar B. Schaufeli, Full Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology, Utrecht University * This comprehensive volume provides the latest scientific research and theory on passion in the workplace. It helps distinguish healthy engagement from overwork, and is filled with practical information and insights not only for motivation scholars, but also for HR professionals and managers alike. Whether harmoniously or obsessively passionate, you won't be able to put it down. * Richard M. Ryan, Professor, Institute for Positive Psychology and Education, Australian Catholic University * The notion of passion is most frequently associated with love and with crime, but passion can make all the difference in a career or workplace. This book breaks new ground by assembling a diverse, international cast of scholars to bring a rich variety of perspectives on how passion (or its absence) relates to work. This book will be an invaluable resource for scholars interested in work and success, in motivation, in creativity and perseverance, and even those who ponder what gets people out of bed in the morning. * Roy F. Baumeister, Professor, School of Psychology, University of Queensland, and author of Willpower: Understanding the Greatest Human Strength * Passion in today's workforce is important and yet, we don't have enough science on it. This book is written by an outstanding group of internationally known scholars who address the main issues on passion, from psychological theory to application, Hence, this book is a must read for scientists and practitioners alike. * Gary Latham, Secretary of State Professor of Organizational Effectiveness, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto *
