Critical thinking focussed applied exercises at the end of each chapter encourage student engagement.
‘Practitioner Forum’ boxes share voices directly from the field grounding the concepts in real life and future applications.
Hypothetical scenarios labeled ‘In the field’ give students the opportunity to put theories into practice. Engaging them through applied practice.
Consciously concise narrative paired with visual figures makes the book dynamic and easy to follow.

Thorough research based revisions reflect the latest in I/O psychology. For example Chapter 5 has been retitled Performance Management (formerly Performance Appraisal), signifying the broad topic under which Performance Appraisal falls.
Robust research has resulted in new references, including new I/O Today articles, covering topics such as diversity and performance, the debate about eliminating performance ratings, and gamified microlearning.
New ‘Practitioner Forum’ content has been added, including topics that reflect innovations in leadership development programs, and Verbal 360 performance appraisals. So that students can learn the most recent best practices.

Paul Levy

Paul E. Levy was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, the youngest of his family's five children. He received his BA in psychology and economics from Washington and Lee University and earned his MA and PhD in industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology from Virginia Tech. A faculty member at the University of Akron since 1989 and chair of the Department of Psychology for 18 years, Paul has been very involved in the development and training of hundreds of graduate students there. During his tenure, he has also provided many undergraduates with their first exposure to the field of I/O psychology through his Introduction to Industrial/Organizational Psychology course. Paul's consulting and research interests include performance management, feedback, coaching and development, and leadership. He has published his scholarly work in many of the top psychology and management journals, including the Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Personnel Psychology, and Academy of Management Journal. In 2022 Dr. Levy was invited to join the Office of the President at The University of Akron as the VP and Chief of Staff (COS) to President Gary Miller. He brings much of his I/O background to inform his work as the COS and is loving his recent career change. Paul is married to Sylvia Chinn-Levy and has three sons — Christopher, Sean, and Jared — who have always managed to keep things interesting and never cease making him proud. Paul is an avid reader of fiction and nonfiction, a huge sports baseball and basketball fan, a runner, and a lifelong fan of the Baltimore Orioles.
