Work, organizational, and business psychology is an applied empirical science and occupational field. This book provides a comprehensive overview of classic and contemporary theories, methods, and findings. Topics include individual differences and performance, vocational choices and career development, the work-nonwork interface, work stress and well-being, occupational safety, positive and counterproductive work behavior, work analysis and work design, personnel selection and development, work attitudes and motivation, negotiation, leadership, teams, entrepreneurship, and organizational development.

This book takes a psychological perspective on patient safety. Theoretical and empirical research on safety-related experiences and behaviors in clinical settings is reviewed. Individual, team, and organizational factors that, by themselves and in combination, facilitate or impede patient safety are considered, including knowledge, skills, abilities, and personality as well as higher-order factors such as safety culture and climate.
