Compendium
Members from The Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology conduct cutting-edge research in a number
of areas related to the topics covered in this science forum. Research to date by more than 60 SIOP members includes work
on the influence of age and age-sensitive variables on job search
and employment success, personnel selection decision making,
training and development, work motivation and attitudes, job
performance, absenteeism, intergenerational communication
and conflict, job stress, worker well-being, and retirement
transitions. A sampling of research by SIOP members on these
issues is provided in this compendium. Contact information
for these researchers is provided at the end as well.
