I reviewed this textbook for an undergraduate class I am teaching. I/O psychology is a broad and complex topic area, making it difficult to find a textbook that is good in each subtopic area. Landy and Conte do a great job in all areas by being fairly broad and up to date. They also do a good job of presenting the material from the perspective of the current trends in applied I/O psychology.
I would recommend this text for undergraduate courses and graduate courses too (with supplemental articles added by the instructor). The instructor support materials are a good starting point for creating lectures, exercises, and assignments. The text is student friendly with an excellent layout, good sidebars, and “module” summaries after subtopics within a chapter (making it easy to skip a subtopic).

This book seemed too good to be true, but it was even better than advertised! It was cheap, in perfect condition, and arrived sooner than scheduled. I would definitely order from this seller again!

Great book. Very informative–at least as part of a class–with interesting side-line items as well.

I had a very bad experience with this seller. SBD has zero accountability – I contacted them time and time again to ask about my order, but I got no response at all, until I threatened them with a negative review. I got my book full three weeks into the semester, which gave me a big setback in terms of readings, I now have to deal with a HUGE backlog. You don’t want to buy from this seller, I should have read the reviews earlier, I didn’t and I paid the price for that! The seller is completely unconcerned about the customer satisfaction.
