Psychology in Organizations, First edition of Alex Haslam's highly influential text provided a new understanding of organizational behaviour - that all aspects of organizational life are affected by people's social ties and group affiliations. Given its thought-provoking and ground-breaking insight into the way organizational behaviour is thought about, it has proved immensely popular to students in social and organizational psychology as well as other fields of organizational enquiry. This Second Edition has been expanded to include an additional chapter on stress, an area where plenty of social identity and self-categorization research has been conducted in recent times. The text is in a wider, more student-friendly format with an expanded range of pedagogical features.
S. Alexander Haslam is a professor in the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland, Australia.

Praise for the first edition of Psychology in Organizations: "A novel, yet timely, application of the social identity approach to the organizational domain simultaneously integrating the existing research and providing a model for theoretical and practical progress within the discipline.... 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 "An excellent overview of what organizations are all about..... A truly outstanding explanation [of] Social Identity Theory and Self-Categorization Theory and[their] links to organizational behaviour.... 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
