    "This volume is the first step toward teaching I/O students about the importance of diversity and inclusion. Not only does Riggio and Johnson’s book cover all of the essential I/O psychology material, it does so in a way that prepares our students for one the most important issues today – how to embed diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice into the workplace. The focus on citing authors in a way that acknowledges gender and racial equity sets a new bar for other textbooks and raises awareness about biases that are built into textbooks of the past." - Michelle ‘Mikki’ Hebl, Professor of Psychology and Management, Rice University, USA.

    "Professors Riggio and Johnson have written an extremely timely textbook that students will find rigorous and relevant. This textbook relies on the latest research in industrial and organizational psychology and related fields including organizational behavior and human resource management. As such, it includes knowledge about talent management that will allow managers in all industries and organizations of all sizes create more inclusive, effective, and healthy work environments." - Herman Aguinis, Professor of Management, and Chair of the Department of Management
