The Organizational Frontiers Series
The Organizational Frontiers Series is sponsored by The Society for In­
dustrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP). Launched in 1983 to make
scientific contributions to the field, the series has attempted to publish
books on cutting edge theory research, and theory-driven practice in
industrial/organizational psychology and related organizational science
disciplines.
Our overall objective is to inform and to stimulate research for SIOP
members (students, practitioners, and researchers) and people in related
disciplines including the other subdisciplines of psychology, organiza­
tional behavior, human resource management, and labor and industrial
relations. The volumes in the Organizational Frontiers Series have the fol­
lowing goals:

1) Focus on research and theory in organizational science, and the impli­
cations for practice.
2) Inform readers of significant advances in theory and research in psy­
chology and related disciplines that are relevant to our research and
practice.
3) Challenge the research and practice community to develop and adapt
new ideas and to conduct research on these developments.
4) Promote the use of scientific knowledge in the solution of public policy
issues and increased organizational effectiveness.
The volumes originated in the hope that they would facilitate contin­
uous learning and a continuing research curiosity about organizational
phenomena on the part of both scientists and practitioners.
