Psychology in Organizations

Alex Haslam has thoroughly revised and updated his ground-breaking original text with this new edition. While still retaining the highly readable and engaging style of the best-selling first edition, he presents extensive reviews and critiques of major topics in organizational psychology - including leadership, motivation, communication, decision making, negotiation, power, productivity and collective action - but with much more besides.

Key features of this 2nd Edition:

· An entirely new chapter on organizational stress which deals with highly topical issues of stress appraisal, social support, coping and burnout.

· New, wider textbook format and design making the entire book much more accessible for students.

· Wide range of pedagogical features included - suggestions for further reading included at the end of each chapter; comprehensive glossaries of social identity, social psychological and organizational terms.
