Psychology in organizations

S. Alexander Haslam

The social identity approach

PRAISE FROM THE FIRST EDITION OF PSYCHOLOGY IN ORGANIZATIONS
A novel, yet timely, application of the social identity approach to the organizational domain…. All in all, an entertaining and groundbreaking book that serves a multitude of purposes across a wide range of disciplines. I can only hope that it becomes required reading. -Psychology in Society

The book shows us in an elegant way that social psychologists have the potential to make a big impact on the organizational field… Very useful and informative reading… A beautiful example of integration. -European Bulletin of Social Psychology

The principal merit of Haslam’s book is to present the first extensive overview of the predictors, moderators and consequences of social identification in organizations. There is no comparable outline of the theory…. We like this book and we believe that it is needed. -European Journal of Organizational Psychology

Alex Haslam’s thoroughly revised and updated edition of his best-selling original text still retains the engaging style of the first edition, presenting extensive reviews and critiques of major topics in organizational psychology, but with much more besides.

Key features of this Second Edition are:
-A new chapter on organizational stress dealing with highly topical issues of stress appraisal, social support, coping and burnout.
-New format and design making the book more accessible for students.
– A wide range of pedagogical features – further reading at the end of each chapter, comprehensive glossaries of social identity, social psychological and organizational terms.

S. Alexander Haslam is Professor of Psychology at the University of Exeter.
