Recenzii
"This new up-to-date edition of Eugene McKenna’s highly respected textbook exceeds expectations. It is my book of choice both for teaching and for reference on business psychology and organizational behavior. It brings together relevant insights from past and present research, and it clarifies how the contributions of psychology relate to those of other disciplines. What may appear to be a formidably comprehensive book is actually easy to read due to its clear style and the many summaries and examples provided." - John Child, D.Sc., FBA, Professor of Commerce, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham, UK"This new edition of Business Psychology and Organizational Behaviour is outstanding. Not only does it cover thoroughly and up-to-date all the areas of business psychology and OB, but also develops new ones as well (e.g., business ethics). The standout for me are the international case studies, and particularly practitioner perspectives. A must-buy textbook in the field of OB by a renowned author and scholar." — Sir Cary Cooper, CBE, 50th Anniversary Professor of Organizational Psychology & Health at the ALLIANCE Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK
Praise for the Fifth Edition:
"The content of the book covers all the usual areas of business psychology. McKenna’s approach is scholarly, presenting research evidence for and against controversial topics before arriving at well-considered conclusions. A text such as this earns its place on the bookshelf of psychology undergraduates as a comprehensive core text." – Anne Kearns, Chartered Psychologist, The Psychologist
