“The book and its authors reflect the scientist-practitioner model. Up-to-date research findings explain what we know about I-O psychology, and the many practical examples show clearly how principles of I-O psychology are applied in the workplace.” Wayne F. Cascio, University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center
