Features: The revisions of this edition follow these two principles: First, to incorporate as much new material, new theories, and new research findings as possible; second, to as closely as possible integrate the theories of organizational psychology with the practical realities of various organizations, especially corporate ones. This edition continues to adhere to the writing principles of previous editions, which primarily focus on introducing theories and research findings of international organizational psychology, while appropriately reflecting China's research achievements and management experiences. During the writing process, we first introduce relevant theories and findings from abroad, followed by critiques and analyses of the lessons and insights that Chinese enterprises should absorb from them. The purpose of separating introduction from critique is to provide readers with a more comprehensive understanding of these theories and research, facilitating their flexible application in practice. This book can serve as a textbook or teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students in psychology, management schools, and related disciplines. Due to space limitations, this book cannot extensively use cases to explain and illustrate related theories, concepts, and perspectives. Therefore, at the end of 2003, we compiled the book "Essentials of Practical Cases in Organizational Psychology" (published by Zhejiang Education Press) as a supplementary textbook. The purpose of compiling this case collection is to help readers understand and master the concepts and principles of organizational psychology through concrete and perceptible materials. At the same time, it assists readers in applying the concepts and principles of organizational psychology to think, analyze, and solve human resource management and other issues in various organizations, especially enterprises.
