As in previous editions, Cascio (business, U. of Colorado-Denver) aims for an interdisciplinary, research-based HRM text. Assuming some familiarity with personnel psychology and statistics, he discusses the field from the macro-level of the law, organizational context, utility theory, and systems view, to the micro-level of measuring individual differences in employment and strategic planning decisions. Includes compliance checklists and an overview of statistical methods. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
