Organizational Effectiveness

Ivan Robertson is a professor and Pro-Vice Chancellor at UMIST in the UK. He is also the Director of the SHL/UMIST Research Centre in Work and Organisational Psychology.

Organizational Effectiveness: The Role of Psychology examines psychological approaches in organizations, not from the more common perspective of their impact on individuals, but in relation to how the work of psychologists impacts on the overall effectiveness of the organization. It also provides a critical review of what psychology has to offer; the way psychologists choose the problems they address, work with others, and evaluate and demonstrate the impact they have, is discussed.
