Organizational Effectiveness: The Role of Psychology examinespsychological approaches in organizations, not from the more commonperspective of their impact on individuals, but in relation to howthe work of psychologists impacts on the overall effectiveness ofthe organization.
It also provides a critical review of what psychology has tooffer; the way psychologists choose the problems they address, workwith others, and evaluate and demonstrate the impact they have.
Robertson, Callinan and Bartram have brought together leadingresearchers and practitioners in work and organizationalpsychology. Each chapter provides a review of current knowledge,practice, issues and future directions in their own area ofexpertise, with a focus on contributions and implications fororganizational functioning and the wider arena of managerialthinking.
This book is for anyone interested in understanding the complexrelations between individual, group and organisational performanceand effectiveness. It is a valuable and challenging resource foradvanced students and practitioners of occupational psychology,organizational behaviour, HRM, and psychological consultancy inorganizations.
