Spring 2014 Industrial and organizational Psychology ◆ 93 nEW! the nature of Work Advances in Psychological Theory, Methods, and Practice Edited by J. Kevin Ford, John r. Hollenbeck, and Ann Marie ryan The field of work psychology investigates the origins of human work behavior-and its ramifications for the individual worker, the employing organization, and those with whom the individual interacts-both on and off the job. This volume frames issues and topics in creative ways that encourage the reader to rethink how we study and think about people at work. The contributors explore new understandings of the meaning of work, advances in theoretical work and measurement, and ways to bridge the gap between practice and research. ◆◆ Part 1 focuses on understanding the meanings we attach to work, a topic that has been neglected by researchers. The chapters in this part reconceptualize the normal entry points for studying work and working and identify new areas to explore. ◆◆ Part 2 highlights advances in theory that help us better understand and integrate important workplace concepts; two chapters explore less traditional topics - the psychology of greed, and identity issues that are relevant to retirement. ◆◆ Part 3 highlights some key advances in measurement that permit researchers to examine more sophisticated and complex relationships. ◆◆ Part 4 provides insight into bridging the gap between practice and research and making research on the psychology of work relevant and applicable. Purpose and Meaning in the Workplace Edited by Bryan J. Dik, Zinta S. Byrne, and Michael F. Steger Work is one of the fundamental experiences of human life. Yet very few of us are lucky enough to find truly fulfilling jobs. In recent decades, as businesses have come to understand the crucial link between happiness and productivity, researchers have focused increasingly on factors such as the nature of the work itself, how well it is suited to the worker, and the ways in which employees can derive meaning and purpose from their work. In this groundbreaking book, editors Bryan J. Dik, Zinta S. Byrne, and Michael F. Steger have brought together experts in counseling and vocational psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, and the fields of executive coaching and management to investigate how meaningful work can be fostered and sustained throughout a wide range of work environments. Theoretically grounded yet filled with practical strategies for the workplace, this book will be an important resource for academics, executive consultants, career counselors, human resource professionals, and organizational leaders alike.
