Summary:

"This authoritative Handbook examines the historical and conceptual foundations, critiques, theoretical and empirical advancements and alternative methodological approaches within the field of critical work and organizational psychology. It focuses on critical and radically humanistic perspectives on existing debates, the uncovering of implicit dynamics within the field and promoting emancipatory critical work and organizational psychology. International scholars and practitioners explore the subject from a multidisciplinary perspective, drawing on research from a variety of sectors and career stages. Chapters evaluate core areas including psychoanalysis, the psychology of workplace inequality, engaging with marginalized research methods and using critical psychology to assess workplace digitization. Adopting a forward-facing approach, this Handbook stimulates wider research, discussion and debate on the future of work and organizational psychology. The Handbook of Critical Work and Organizational Psychology is a crucial resource for scholars and students of psychology, sociology, organization studies and business and management. Its analysis of current trends and new ideas also makes this a valuable reference point for practitioners in psychology, business and organizational development"-- Provided by publisher.
