Synopsis: "This broad handbook written by acclaimed international scholars covers the essential set of teamwork topics - and beyond. Highly recommended." Steve W. J. Kozlowski Professor of Organizational Psychology, Michigan State University "Teamwork is not going out of fashion and managers will continue to recognize that they need knowledge to help them develop it. This volume offers a great variety of perspectives on teamwork, and its broad international distribution of authors is impressive and to be welcomed." Dean Tjosvold Emeritus Professor, Department of Management, Lingnan University This authoritative Wiley Blackwell Handbook in Organizational Psychology focuses on team working and collaborative processes. The editors have drawn on their collective experience in collating thematically structured material from leading thinkers and practitioners based in the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Coinciding with growing international interest in the applications of psychology to organizations, the work offers a unique depth of analysis from an explicitly psychological perspective. Each chapter includes a detailed literature review that offers academics, researchers, scientist-practitioners, and students an invaluable frame of reference. Coverage is built around competencies set forth by regulatory bodies including the APA and BPS, and includes team design, team membership change, team cohesion, creativity in teams, and team performance measurement.
