Advances in Industrial Organizational Psychology (Proceedings of the Xxiv International Congress of Psychology of the International Union of Psycholo)

Knowledge about organizations and the behaviour of those within them continues to expand at a rapid rate. The major purpose of this volume of the Proceedings is to provide the reader with a review of some of the recent developments in the area of industrial and organizational psychology. The papers cover a variety of aspects of organization. There are some which address matters of direct relevance to those who have not yet entered the workforce - for example the relationship between secondary school subject choice and occupational choice, and longitudinal studies of school-leavers. Other papers are directed to the other extreme of the work life - unemployment and early retirement.
