Check out the recommended reading for Management Psychology, Occupational Psychology, and Work and Organisational Psychology
We are often asked to recommend some introductory reference books for new students on our courses. Here are some suggestions which provide a good introduction to the subject areas we teach and to our research interests.
It is not recommended that you buy, or even read, all of these: there is much overlap in the material they cover and some of them are quite expensive. However, reading through a well-chosen few should give you some useful background material. You should also be able to access these books from our libraries when you arrive.
