This important and stimulating book deepens understanding of two areas of knowledge and their connection. Highly recommended. -CHOICE Overall, the book has a number of strengths. First, the editors provide a well-organized structure for the book and explain their objectives clearly. More important, the inclusion of fifteen chapters by different subject matter experts allows the book to meet the editors' objective of summarizing, critiquing, and integrating twenty-five years of research and theory....The author index is thorough, and the subject index is extremely detailed and useful. -Academy of Management Review ...the quality of writing is uniformly very good across the chapters....most of the chapters are well written, interesting, provocative, and fun to read. This book may be of interest to a broader audience than the publisher's advertisement suggests....this volume would appeal to many who have an interest in any of these topics. -Personnel Psychology To be sure, anyone who sets foot in organizations know that 'people matter', but our scholarly attention was diverted...Schneider and Smith have done us all a great service. The pulled together a terrific collection of original essays to inform us about what has been happening in personality psychology over these twenty-five years, and to show us how it all matters to life in organizations. -James P.
