‘Just as the self is foundational to our personal understanding of how we connect to the world, so The Self at Work will become foundational to our scholarly understanding of what it means to "be" in the workplace.’ —Blake Ashforth, Horace Steele Arizona Heritage Chair and Professor of Management, Arizona State University, USA‘The editors have assembled a dynamite volume that will be the definitive source for understanding the human self in the workplace. Packed with information and rich with diverse perspectives, the book covers many vital aspects of workplace behaviour, including task performance, decision-making, unethical behaviour, striving for improvement, personnel evaluation, identification with the company, colleague relationships, leadership, blame time, workplace aggression, organizational culture, alcohol and drug abuse, and impression management. Anyone interested in the psychological dynamics of organizations and work will find this book an invaluable addition to his or her library.’ —Roy F. Baumeister, Francis Eppes Eminent Scholar and Professor of Psychology, Florida State University, USA; author of New York Times bestseller Willpower‘The Self at Work presents a broad and inclusive view of self research and self theory as applied to the workplace.

Keith Campbell, Professor of Psychology, University of Georgia, USA‘The Self at Work is an impressive and timely volume on an important topic.
