Elgar Encyclopedia of Organizational PsychologyIn this comprehensive Encyclopedia, Matthijs Bal brings together over 190 international experts to present fresh perspectives on key concepts, theories and research in organizational psychology. Entries cover central topics in the field, such as performance and work family balance, as well as upcoming and underrepresented areas such as decolonization, authenticity and playful work.
The Elgar Encyclopedia of Organizational Psychology is designed to be an interesting read. Established topics within the field, such as leadership and performance, are viewed through an engaging and sometimes critical lens, incorporating perspectives from non-Western contexts and the rejection of hegemonic and ideological tendencies within organizational psychology. Encompassing 144 entries, the Encyclopedia also includes entries on emerging topics such as ideology, psychoanalytic critique of capitalism, and critical work and organizational psychology. Promoting equality, dignity and emancipation, authors argue for a more global point of view that strives for a better world rather than solely better-performing organizations.
This engaging and accessible Encyclopedia is an indispensable resource for any student, academic, practitioner, or policymaker looking to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of organizational psychology, studies, and behavior. It is similarly useful for scholars of occupational, economic, and social psychology. ISBN:9781803921754, 1803921757
