RE: I/O Texts
Machinsky is the best I/O text for psych majors but Auerbach "The World of Work" goes over better with general audiences.

I have used Muchinsky's Psychology Applied to Work consistently. I think it is about the best out there. Stephen A.

Re: I/O Texts
I also think the Muchinsky text is excellent as is the student work book. However, because I am not trained in I/O I took a different path when I started teaching it last year. I assigned Spector's book (Wiley). The author makes all his lecture and chapter outlines available online. The Spector book is not very detailed or rigorous, but I supplement with original readings (journal articles) and write my lectures from Muchinsky. I've also found Aamodt (third edition) Applied I/O Psychology, Books/Cole/Wadsworth useful for the purposes of class preparation/lectures. Marie David Campbell wrote: "M.

Re: I/O Texts--brief note
In response to Bob Keefer's post: "...I certainly hope Frank Landy's 'Psychology of Work Behavior' is still being published. I've used it, happily, for years. And I'm hoping to use it this fall..." I checked the Brooks/Cole web site and found that Landy is indeed still available, but we're talking about a 1989 edition for $78 (new). --Dave Campbell Humboldt St U
