Organizational Psychology and Evidence-Based Management

What Science Says About Practice

Herausgegeben: Neiva, Elaine Rabelo; Torres, Cláudio Vaz; Mendonça, Helenides

Beschreibung

Adopting an Evidence-Based Management (EBM) approach, this book provides the best evidence available on a wide range of topics from Industrial and Organizational Psychology to help managers base their decisions on scientific findings. Drawing on principles and methods first developed by Evidence-Based Medicine, EBM aims to promote the use of scientific knowledge in organizational and managerial decision making. Based on this idea, the book seeks to establish a dialogue between researchers and professionals of the Industrial and Organizational Psychology and Management fields, translating scientific knowledge into useful resources that can be used to inform practitioner's decisions and interventions in topics such as:

Creativity in organizations
Optimism and hope
Engagement at work
Life and career planning
Entrepreneurship
Innovation in organizations
Cultural diversity and inclusion in organizations
Social networks
Ageing at organizational context
Work/life balance
Positive rule breaking
Expatriation
Time pressure, Pacing styles and polychronicity
