I like Muchinsky's "Psychology Applied to Work" (Wadsworth). It provides a
balance between solid coverage, lively writing, and research emphasis. Last
year I tried Shultz & Shultz "Psychology & Work Today" (Prentice-Hall) but
found it too light and laced with inaccuracies (the students seemed to like
it--easy reading).
I don't really have a second choice text at this time, so I'll be interested
in what others might suggest. Riggio's "Introduction to
Industrial/Organizational Psychology" (Prentice-Hall) is worth a look. There
are a number of others, but my brief examination suggested problems in
writing style or currency of material.
