Now in its seventh edition, Work in the 21st Century: An Introduction to Industrial and Organizational Psychology is the most current and engaging textbook for courses on Industrial and Organizational (I-O) Psychology. This market-leading textbook ties together themes and topics such as diversity, cognitive and physical abilities, personality, emotional intelligence, technology, multicultural dynamics, and evidence-based I-O psychology with a clear, reader-friendly narrative style.

This new edition retains the accessibility of the previous editions, incorporating the latest research findings into every chapter and providing up-to-date organizational applications of the principles of I-O psychology. The scientist-practitioner model continues to be the philosophical cornerstone of the text, further reinforcing the systems approach and stressing the interplay among different I-O psychology variables and constructs.
