Management & Leadership, Human Resources & Personnel Management 

This volume examines the formal processes for staffing organizations in a comprehensive yet straightforward style designed to enhance accessibility and encourage learning. Those in business administration, psychology, and labor and industrial relations will benefit from the coverage of a wide variety of staffing issues. From recruitment to cost benefits analysis and from job analysis to interviewing, topics are presented with current information and examples illustrate the procedures and options. Staffing is both a practical and theoretical problem; the interplay of the real world to work and theoretical constructs has produced a set of provocative insights and findings. This book looks at those findings as well as some of the major advances that have come from the scientific community as it explores basic behavioral, psychological, and statistical issues relevant for the study of human behavior at work. Readers will come away with the understanding that if organizations adopt appropriate job analysis, assessment, and validation techniques, effective strategies for finding employees with good potential can be developed and will result in employees who will be more productive, give better service, be absent less and produce higher quality work. - from Amzon
