Researchers and practitioners should find some useful ideas and suggestions for their work in the area of individual and organizational careers. For that reason, it is highly recommended." —Contemporary Psychology
"...provides the practitioner with good, baseline research upon which to rely...also has great potential for the researcher who is interested in doing serious, applied work....We heartily recommend the book to researchers and students with interests in career development...could serve as a good supplemental text for human resource management courses...all chapters are quite readable, typically concise, and to the point. In these days of high book costs, this book is worth its price tag." —Personnel Psychology
