Summary:

International contributors describe their experiences conducting large-scale, multinational research projects in organizational psychology. They explain how they overcame challenges related to designing and executing their studies and discuss conceptual and methodological trends affecting the future of this type of research. The book is organized so that the first few chapters provide more in-depth illustrations of cross-cultural research. Later chapters offer more general reflections. Some specific areas researched include the stability of personality constructs across languages and cultures, measurement and sampling issues, and ethical challenges. The book's readership includes organizational researchers, managers, and policy makers. Ryan teaches psychology at Michigan State University-East Lansing.
