Recenzje

"This third edition will maintain the book's status as a landmark text. The updated literature and latest statistical techniques provide a rich source of information that is valuable as a textbook and a reference. The book is useful for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, not to mention scholars and researchers."
—Manuel London
State University of New York at Stony Brook

"This book is very thorough. It is very up-to-date on current research. I particularly liked the first chapter. It provided an historical overview of the importance of staffing that one is not likely to find elsewhere."

—Timothy Judge
University of Florida

"I could easily see adopting this text for my graduate selection course. I like the newer data and analytic techniques such as SEM, IRT, and HLM...The overall organization of the book is a great feature. The chapters are logically organized and provide the reader with a clear sense of what the important topics are, why they are important, and where the field may head in the future."
—Ronald S. Landis
