Lori Foster - Böcker

The purpose of this book is to translate the science and practice of Industrial-Organizational (I-O) psychology, or work psychology, as it relates to sustainable development efforts to provide evidence-based insights for those who are working toward the greater good. To maximize the impact of I-O psychology on the greater good, this book is designed to be accessible and is written for readers who do not have a background in I-O psychology or related fields. The volume specifically targets readers who are engaged or want to be engaged in prosocial work across the public and private sectors and who are interested in leveraging the science and practice of I-O psychology to effect prosocial change. The book highlights the areas where I-O psychology has the most unique, practical, and/or useful takeaways to those who are working to move the needle on one or more of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While the SDGs provide the overarching structure of the book, the target audience extends beyond those who explicitly incorporate the SDGs in their framing such as those with prosocial efforts who use a different framing (e.g., ESG) or do not use a particular typology. For example, a private sector leader or organization working to improve gender equity (Gender Equality, SDG 5) or historically marginalized groups (Reduce Inequalities, SDG 10) in their communities or workplace would benefit from this book, regardless of how informed they are about the SDGs. Ultimately, this book extends the reach of I-O psychology to enhance societal well-being

Workforce readiness is an issue that is of great national and societal importance. For the United States and other countries to thrive in a globally interconnected environment of wide-ranging opportunities and threats, the need to develop and maintain a skilled and adaptable workforce is critical. National investments in job training and schools remain essential in stimulating businesses and employment agencies to collaborate productively with educators who provide both training and vocational guidance.Workforce Readiness and the Future of Work argues that the large-scale multifaceted efforts required to ensure a reliable and strong supply of talent and skill in the U.S. workforce should be addressed systematically, simultaneously, and systemically across disciplines of thought and levels of analysis. In a four-part framework, the authors cover the major areas of: education in the K-12, vocational, postsecondary, and STEM arenas; economic and labor market considerations; employment, organizations, and the world of work; laws, policies, and budgets at the federal, state, local, and military levels.With contributions from leading scholars, this volume informs high-priority workforce effectiveness issues of current and future concern and concrete research, practice, and policy directions to generate novel insights of a multilevel and system-wide nature.
