Work Motivation

This edited volume in SIOP's "Organizational Frontiers Series" presents the current thinking and research on the important area of motivation. Work Motivation is a central issue in Industrial organizational psychology, human resource management and organizational behavior. In this volume the editors and authors show that motivation must be seen as a multi-level phenomenon where individual, group, organizational and cultural variables must be considered to truly understand it. The book adopts an overall framework that encompasses 'internal' - from the person - forces and 'external' - from the immediate and more distant environment - forces. It is destined to challenge scholars of organizations to give renewed emphasis and attention to advancing our understanding of motivation in work situations.

Porter University of California, Irvine "This is a timely and important volume that presents the latest thinking in motivation. Every serious motivation researcher worldwide will what to have this copy on his or her desk. " Michael Frese, Past President IAAP, Univ. of Giessen and London Business School "Motivation is one of the few central processes of work behavior. Yet, for a quite a number of years the study of work motivation has taken a back seat to research on narrower work phenomena. This splendid collection of papers by a renowned set of authors is certain to refocus our attention on this most fundamental problem. By providing a state of the art overview of the topic and a roadmap for new directions in research and practice, "Work Motivation: Past, Present and Future" will be an essential resource for anyone interested in work motivation."
