The field of Personnel Psychology is broadly concerned with the study of
individual differences and their consequences for the organization. As human
resource costs continue, for most organizations, to be the single largest
operating cost (50-80% of annual expenditure), achieving optimal performance
from individual employees is of paramount importance to the sustained
development and financial performance of any organization.
The Oxford Handbook of Personnel Psychology brings together contributions from
leading international scholars within the field to present state-of-the-art
reviews on topical and emergent issues, constructs, and research in personnel
psychology. The book is divided into six sections:
- Individual Difference and Work Performance
- Personnel Selection
- Methodological Issues
-
