Description:

Industrial and organizational psychology (I-O psychology) contributes to an organization’s success by improving the job performance, wellbeing, motivation, job satisfaction, and the health and safety of employees. Given the extent to which organizations today are increasingly comprised of employees from different cultural and language backgrounds, studying the cultural aspect of I-O psychology has become a necessity. The post-pandemic world in which the remote or hybrid workplace is becoming increasingly common adds importance to the multicultural perspective in the discipline due to the distances involved between employees and management.

Examining Applied Multicultural Industrial and Organizational Psychology provides updated research on applied I-O psychology within a culturally conscious context that can be used for future research directions in the field by academicians and practitioners alike. Covering topics such as employability, motivation theories, and workplace culture, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for I-O psychologists, business leaders and managers, entrepreneurs, human resource managers, government officials, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This book delves into the pivotal facets and significance of industrial and organizational psychology (I-O psychology). It underscores I-O psychology's role in enhancing organizational success through the elevation of job performance, employee wellbeing, motivation, job satisfaction, and health and safety. Given the contemporary landscape where organizations boast diverse cultural and linguistic compositions among their workforce, delving into the cultural dimension of I-O psychology becomes imperative. The post-pandemic era, marked by the prevalence of remote or hybrid workplaces, accentuates the relevance of a multicultural perspective in this discipline, considering the geographical distances between employees and management.
