Accessible and engaging, this textbook introduces students to the field of personnel psychology, also known as industrial psychology. Based upon her many years of teaching in this area, Alexandra Luong surveys core topics including job analysis, recruitment, selection, performance appraisal, training, legal issues, and research methods. Throughout, she emphasizes a psychological-rather than management-approach, explaining the key psychological principles that underpin human resources practices. Through clear writing and plentiful examples from Luong's own applied work in both the public and private sectors, this book aims to introduce students to the most recent and pertinent scientific research in personnel psychology, and inspire future study in I/O Psychology and related fields.
