商品簡介
In this collection of six essays, international contributors in industrial and organizational psychology describe recent research in human resources management (HRM) and personnel development. The book begins with an overview of strategic and institutional perspectives on global HRM. Later chapters address issues such as improving executive outcomes through work design, and the impact of leadership, management, and HRM on employee reactions to organizational change. The book offers a literature review of research on orientation programs and a review of recent advances in item response theory. The final chapter presents an original framework of off-the-job embededness, defined as the totality of outside-work forces which keep people bound to their current geographical area and consequently to their jobs either directly or indirectly. Martocchio is affiliated with the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign. The book is distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution.
