NEW EDITED BOOK: Cambridge Handbook of Technology and Employee Behavior

I am very pleased to announce the conclusion of a project that took many years from conceptualization to physical copy on the shelves: the official release of the Cambridge Handbook of Technology and Employee Behavior.

In this edited volume, experts from all areas of industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology describe how increasingly rapid technological change has affected the field. In each chapter, authors reveal how this has altered the meaning of I-O research within a particular subdomain and what steps must be taken to avoid I-O research from becoming obsolete. This handbook presents a forward-looking review of I-O psychology’s understanding of both workplace technology and how technology is used in I-O research methods. Using interdisciplinary perspectives to further this understanding and serving as a focal text from which this research will grow, it tackles three main questions facing the field. First, how has technology affected I-O psychological theory and practice to date? Second, given the current trends in both research and practice, could I-O psychological theories be rendered obsolete? Third, what are the highest priorities for both research and practice to ensure I-O psychology remains appropriately engaged with technology moving forward?

Are you excited yet? If so, feel free to grab the book now on Amazon, or you can download pre-prints of my chapter on the existential threats to I-O psychology related to technology, data science as it can be used to support social scientific research methods, or gamification in learning.
