This was definitely a labor of love: All three of us are dedicated teachers. And we are all passion- ate about the field of Industrial/Organizational (I/O) psychology, or psychology applied to the workplace. How could we not be? I/O psychology is devoted to the place where most adults spend the majority of their waking hours. We are especially excited about giving students their first exposure to this vibrant and growing discipline: According to the US Department of Labor Statistics, “I/O psychologist” is currently the fastest growing job in the US (http://www.bls.gov/ emp/ep_table_103.htm). We set out to create a book that would reflect our enthusiasm for the field as well as our love of both teaching and researching the many important issues involved in I/O psychology. We wanted to translate and share the best and most recent of I/O psychology’s evidence-based knowledge for students so they would have the opportunity to become as excited and passionate about the importance and useful- ness of I/O psychology as we are! Of course, we covered the primary areas of I/O psychology, giving students a broad survey of the course content. However, with over 60 years of combined teaching experience among the three of us, we also wanted to bring what we have seen work in the classroom to the forefront. We wanted to create a book that would be a great resource by being both engaging and informative for students. We also wanted to it to be a useful tool for instructors to bring the topic to life for students ranging from those who have little work experience to those with a great deal of it. In light of this, our book has a number of distinguishing features to make it useful and accessible for both students and instructors: Preface For Students • A clear statement of learning goals at the beginning of each chapter. • Clear workplace examples to illustrate key concepts throughout the book. • Colorful photos and graphics in every chapter. • Review questions at the end of each chapter focused on the application of course material. ix
