Working with Organizations and Their People: A Guide to Human Resources Practice Bray, Douglas W.

This volume sets the stage for an important new series sponsored by the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology by addressing the major areas of practice and the settings in which practice is carried out. Focusing on process, rather than the technical aspects of practice, chapters lay out key issues in the evaluation of individuals, training and development, and organization development.
