520			_a"In the first six editions of this book, we pursued the premise that the world of work in the 21st century was very different from what it had been in the 20th century. That premise is even more relevant today and worth repeating. Today's workplace is technological and multicultural. Work is often accomplished by teams rather than by single individuals. In any given company or department, there is greater diversity in terms of demographic characteristics, interests, and styles than in past decades. Although mental and physical abilities remain important attributes for predicting job success, other attributes, such as personality, interpersonal skills, and emotional intelligence, are receiving increased attention. A satisfying life is increasingly defined as striking a balance between work and non-work. In addition, the psychological stability of work may be at an all-time low. Mergers, acquisitions, downsizing, outsourcing, gig work, the challenges to financial and housing markets, and rapidly changing technologies have all made the idea of lifelong employment at one company, or even in one occupation, an elusive dream. This book ties together all of these themes in a way that explores the rich and intriguing nature of the modern workplace"-- Provided by publisher
