Industrial-Organisational Psychologists Engaging With The New World Of Work: The Unfolding Challenge Of Future-Fitness For The 4Th Industrial Revolution

As the challenge of conceptualising, designing, and implementing fulfilling and productive humane workplaces within the emerging 4th and 5th Industrial Revolutions becomes more apparent -- it is clear that the future remit of every Industrial Organisational Psychologist will be rising to the task of integrating people and technology. Industrial-Organisational Psychology (IOP) as a science and practice embraces the psychology of work, the working person, the workplace,and the harmony between these elements -- yet as we rapidly approach a digital era of work, how can this harmony be retained? This book explores the workplaces of the future through an 18-month research operation involving five research teams with their respective leaders, six research associates, two assistants and the head of the project, Professor Theo Veldsman. Using emerging trends associated with the unfolding of the fourth and fifth Industrial Revolutions, Prof Theo Veldsman and his team re-imagined IOP in all its facets - intent, focus, content, mode of delivery, and capabilities - to realign with the future workplace. -- Publisher's description.
