Customer Reviews

Excellent book

This is an excellent, comprehensive handbook. Highly recommended for anyone interested in occupational health psychology or industrial-organizational psychology. I had to buy this book for a class, but would have bought it anyway because of my interest in the topic. Most of the important researchers in the field are cited. Price can't be beat; it was being sold for twice as much at my university bookstore!

Good, informative book

I've really enjoyed reading this book so far. It has provided valuable insight into a very interesting field. One of the better textbooks I've had to read.

reading the book for class

I'm reading this book for an Occupational Health Psychology class. It's been a good base reading to suppliment other articles as we meet each week.
