<p>"This book combines a fine blend of recent research and relevant theory with illuminating illustrative examples from the world of work. This text will be of value not just to students of psychology, but also to managers who will glean interesting insights into the thoughts, attitudes and behaviour of their employees." <strong>– Professor Owen Hargie, University of Ulster, UK</strong></p><p>"This book provides an up-to-date review of current work on trait psychology in the workplace. It is accessible and easy to read for both the student and the busy manager. The author does not duck away from controversial issues and in fact, his views on these add spice to the debate."<strong> - Elizabeth Chell, Institute of Entrepreneurship, University of Southampton, UK</strong></p><p>"This is a well-researched, comprehensive book that one should definitely read to become conversant with the role of individual differences in the workplace. Clearly graduate students and researchers of individual differences would find this a helpful synthesis of the extant literature in this area." <strong>- Theresa J.B. Kline, University of Calgary, in the <em>Canadian Journal of Admninistrative Sciences</em></strong></p>
