The Cambridge Handbook of Workplace Training and Employee Development

Description

With comprehensive coverage of topics related to learning, training, and development, this volume is a must-have resource for industrial and organizational (I/O) psychologists, human resource (HR) scholars, and adult education specialists. Brown provides a forward-looking exploration of the current research on workplace training, employee development, and organizational learning from the primary point of view of industrial organizational psychology. Each chapter discusses current practices, recent research, and, importantly, the gaps between the two. In analyzing these aspects of the topic, the chapter authors both present the valuable knowledge available and show the opportunities for further study and practice.

Kenneth G. Brown is Ralph L. Sheets Professor of Management and Associate Dean of the Tippie College of Business at the University of Iowa. He is a fellow at the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology and the Association of Psychological Science, and a former Fulbright Fellow at Seoul National University in South Korea.
