"Presents broad coverage of a diverse array of key topics defining the field, authored by leading scholars. Provides recommendations for theory development and future research. This landmark two-volume set rigorously compiles knowledge in organizational psychology to date and looks ahead with a roadmap for the future of the field. Organizational psychology is the science of psychology applied to work and organizations. It is a field of inquiry that spans more than a century and covers an increasingly diverse range of topics as the nature of work continues to evolve. The Oxford Handbook of Organizational Psychology provides a comprehensive treatment of key topics that capture the broad sweep of organizational psychology. It features contributions by 69 leading scholars who provide cutting-edge reviews, conceptual integration, and directions for future research. The 42 chapters of the handbook are organized into 10 major sections spanning two volumes, including such topics imperative to the field as:

- the core processes of work motivation, job attitudes and affect, and performance that underlie behavior at work

- phenomena that assimilate, shape, and develop employees (i.e. socialization, networks, and leadership)

- the challenges of managing differences within and across organizations, covering the topics of diversity, discrimination, and cross-cultural psychology

- the powerful influence of technology on the nature of work and work processes."

"Dans le langage ordinaire, ressentir de l'empathie signifie se mettre à la place de l'autre, et éventuellement partager ses émotions. Ce phénomène complexe, souvent considéré comme étant à l'origine du comportement moral et altruiste, s'est retrouvé au coeur du débat public, certains arguant qu'il serait la solution à l'intolérance et aux discriminations. Mais, dans une société traversée par les conflits et les rapports de domination, l'empathie permet-elle vraiment de comprendre l'autre ? A la lumière des dernières découvertes en neurosciences et en sciences sociales, Samah Karaki démontre que l'empathie se révèle foncièrement faillible et sélective, ne résistant pas à la déshumanisation de l'autre ou à sa prétendue infériorité construite par les discours médiatiques ou politiques. Dans un essai stimulant et puissant, elle invite à reconnaître que l'on est inévitablement exclu de l'expérience des autres, et à imaginer de nouvelles voies pour s'ouvrir à leurs réalités. Plutôt que d'apporter à la souffrance et à l'injustice une réponse individuelle et affective, elle plaide en faveur de mesures politiques et sociales."

"Sans céder au « démon de l'analogie », l'auteur démontre les liens étroits qui, depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, unissent les crises politiques des libéralismes aux discrédits des institutions parlementaires, à l'émergence des populismes, et aux violences destructrices des guerres et des terrorismes. A chaque fois le monde de la sécurité, établi sur les promesses de la raison, de l'autonomie de la volonté individuelle, de l'émancipation par le progrès des techniques et des sciences, … à chaque fois ce monde s'effondre. A chaque fois, la liberté et l'égalité se révèlent comme des valeurs abstraites, réduisant l'espace authentique du politique comme peau de chagrin. A chaque fois l'accroissement des richesses collectives s'accompagne du profit de quelques-uns aux dépens de tous. Or, l'abandon des peuples à leur misère matérielle et culturelle constitue le « fonds de commerce » des extrémismes, des populismes et des haines sociales.



L'ouvrage montre également comment l'émergence de la psychanalyse, et plus généralement des sciences sociales ou du darwinisme à la fin du XIXe siècle, constituent des révolutions symboliques qui mettent à terre les vieilles prétentions libérales d'un sujet auto-entrepreneur de son destin. Si ces révolutions symboliques ont tant bien que mal entretenu des visions humanistes du social, elles ne sont pas parvenues à transformer durablement la société.



Comment sortir de cette logique d'une masse d'individus déçus et désespérés ? Comment rétablir la vie politique dans un monde intellectuellement et moralement ruiné par la religion du marché ? Comment écarter cette démocratie sécuritaire qui se profile au nom de la lutte contre les terrorismes ? Comment refonder un nouvel humanisme riche des expériences dont nous sommes les héritiers ? "

"Research suggests a positive relationship between adolescent self-esteem and adult wages. Drawing data from the 1979 cohort of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, I refine the empirical relationship between self-esteem, wages, and education. The effect of self-esteem on wages is positive and significant when estimating models for the entire sample. This effect, however, becomes statistically insignificant when estimating models for subsamples sorted by educational level. In addition, mediation models suggest that roughly one-third of the total effect of self-esteem on wages is mediated by education. In total, these results indicate that there is a significantly less pronounced direct effect of self-esteem on wages than previously found in the literature. A substantial portion of the effect self-esteem has on wages occurs through its effect on educational attainment."

"Mediation is a process that can be used to resolve conflict in many different dispute contexts. This book focuses on the essential skills and strategies needed by any mediator to be successful in their work.
Tony Whatling draws on his extensive experience in the field of mediation to explain the range of skills and strategies that are commonly used, as well as why you would use different skills and when they are best employed. The author shows how, by adopting these techniques, a mediator can manage challenging conflicts. It features the use of questioning skills and how they can be used effectively, as well as how to deal with high emotion and negative responses.
This book is essential for anyone who wants to improve their mediation skills, whether as a trainee, novice or experienced professional."
