Now, this fifteenth volume in the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology's Organizational Frontiers Series fills the gap in the literature by providing readable, up-to-date discussions of many of the most important areas of measurement and data analysis. In each chapter, the expert authors provide descriptions of the types of problems that can or should be addressed with the approach, a description of the limitations of the method, and an instructive example that illustrates the advantages of the approach and highlights the way it should be used. Most important, "Measuring and Analyzing Behavior in Organizations" allows substantive researchers to learn about recent developments without having to spend countless hours reading highly technical books and articles.

| Publisher Description: Measuring and Analyzing Behavior in Organizations brings together the latest advances in measurement and data analysis, providing accessible, current discussions of measurement, applied statistics, research methods, and data analysis. The book details the range of problems that can be addressed with these new approaches, answering the more complex questions with sophisticated analyses that can extract more information from the data than simpler methods. The contributors provide workable solutions to many previously intractable problems, including those that require measuring change, studying person-environment fit, understanding the effects of error, and more. |
