"There are two features that are especially noteworthy. First, each chapter presents a nomological network which allows the reader to see how the focal construct relates to both antecedents and outcomes. Second, each chapter also includes some sample measures which is a great addition that gets right to what these constructs mean and how to tap them. This book belongs on the shelves of practitioners and researchers alike – an important reference for the 21st century." —Paul E. Levy, The University of Akron, USA
