Is it possible to optimize the use of human resources in human ways? Can new and innovative organizational forms be developed? These are two of the many questions with which work and organizational (W&O) psychologists are confronted in today's world, and which this text attempts to answer. Featuring contributions on both new, innovative tools and best practices, as well as on theoretical developments in W&O psychology, this is a resource for both practitioners and researchers. The book contains some of the contributions from the Ninth European Congress on Work and Organizational Psychology. It not only defines concepts such as "innovation" and "work pressure", but also deals with the enormous developments taking place in group and teamwork, the future challenges of work in the virtual environment, and work socialization processes with regards to newcomers and personality characteristics, reflecting not only European but international discussions in the field.
