Download Free Chapters from SIOP Organizational Frontiers Series

When you’ve watched all the holiday movies and want to feed your brain something more stimulating than fruitcake and eggnog, dip into a sampler of the best thinking in the field. 

Routledge, publisher of SIOP’s Organizational Frontiers Series, is offering free chapter downloads from five recent series publications, including The Self at Work, Big Data at Work, Understanding the High Performance Workplace, Autonomous Learning in the Workplace and Facing the Challenges of a Multi-Age Workforce.

The Organizational Frontiers book series was launched in 1983 to make scientific contributions to the field and publish books on cutting edge theory and research derived from practice in industrial and organizational psychology and related organizational science disciplines.

Richard Klimoski, Professor of Psychology at George Mason University, has been serving as editor of the series for the last five years, and has just helped name his successors, Angelo De Nisi, professor in the A.B. Freeman School of Business at Tulane University, and Kevin Murphy, faculty member for the University of Limerick in Ireland, who will co-edit the series beginning in April 2019.
