Work in the 21st Century: An Introduction to Industrial and Organizational Psychology PDF

I reviewed this textbook for an undergraduate class I am teaching. I/O psychology is a broad and complex topic area, making it difficult to find a textbook that is good in each subtopic area. Landy and Conte do a great job in all areas by being fairly broad and up to date. They also do a good job of presenting the material from the perspective of the current trends in applied I/O psychology.

I would recommend this text for undergraduate courses and graduate courses too (with supplemental articles added by the instructor). The instructor support materials are a good starting point for creating lectures, exercises, and assignments. The text is student friendly with an excellent layout, good sidebars, and "module" summaries after subtopics within a chapter (making it easy to skip a subtopic).

Landy and Conte have written a refreshing book on I/O Psychology. It is clear and to the point, making it a very easy and engaging reading. It includes all the usual subjects of Industrial Psych: job analysis, performance measurement, staffing, training and development, etc. The Organizational Psych part is very good, too, covering subjects like stress, violence at work, leadership and teams, among others. This book and Muchinsky's are two of the best textbooks on I/O Psych at the present.
