Description

Organisational Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies is a scholarly textbook that examines the development of organisational psychology by revisiting influential research studies that shaped understanding of human behavior in workplaces. It explores how classic theories and experiments have influenced modern approaches to work design, motivation, leadership, groups, identity, and organisational functioning.

The book presents critical reflections on 14 foundational studies in organisational psychology, encouraging readers to examine both the contributions and limitations of these classic works. Rather than simply describing historical research, it connects these studies to contemporary workplace challenges and shows how psychological theories continue to inform organisational practices today.

The text is part of the Revisiting the Classic Studies series, which aims to help students understand how major psychological studies changed the way researchers and practitioners think about human behavior. It encourages critical evaluation of research methods, theoretical development, and the practical impact of psychological knowledge in organisations.
