    by Routledge

    This new four-volume collection from Routledge is a Major Work which brings together both canonical and the very best cutting-edge thinking in organizational psychology.

    Organizational psychology is a broad field which has natural overlaps with other research areas such as organizational studies, organizational sociology, human resource management, individual differences, and management science. For this reason, the primary focus of the collection is on defining the unique contribution of psychology to work and organizations, and taking a critical perspective in reviewing theoretical developments, research evidence, and contributions to practice. It is an essential reference work and will be welcomed as a vital research resource by all scholars and students of the subject.

    Biography

    Professor Silvester has worked as an occupational psychologist in business and academia. Her research takes a social-cognitive approach and she is particularly interested in the processes involved in selection and assessment of employees.  Her current research looks as questions such as: how do assessors make selection decisions? Can these decisions be improved? Can we predict employee motivation? What factors lead to bias against women and ethnic minorities?

    Current research:

    An investigation of cognitive predictors of empathy in doctors applying for GP training funded by the ESRC.

    A study of how assessors describe the performance of male and female candidates in an assessment centre (T. Ritchie Rodger Research Fund).

    An evaluation of performance predictors for individuals applying for political candidacy.

    A cross-cultural study of impression management strategies used by applicants from Nigeria, Malaysia, UK and the Netherlands (Shell International).

     

    Professor Silvester is also editor for the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, and the International Journal of Selection and Assessment.
