«A refreshed classic that remains the go-to introduction to work and leadership psychology in Norway. [...] Its contextual grounding, systematic coverage across levels of analysis, and emphasis on the historical development of knowledge make it an enduring guide for students, educators, and practitioners alike. From the perspective of a researcher, lecturer, public speaker, and consultant, it is unquestionably a book I will continue to use in my professional practice.»
