Each section includes contributions from internationally eminent authors in the field. The contributions clarify concepts, describe models and theories, summarize evidence from empirical research, and discuss the practical implications of research evidence and trends. Attention is drawn to the ways in which academic and practitioner perspectives complement one another and, at times, conflict as highlighted by trends toward a science-practice divide.<br /><br />The <i>Handbook</i> will be a valuable resource for students, researchers and faculty in psychology and related fields, and for professionals working in human resources who want to maintain and enhance a high level of selection practice.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Arne Evers</b> is Associate Professor in Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Amsterdam. <br /><br /><b>Neil Anderson</b> is Professor in Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Amsterdam.<br /><b><br />Olga Voskuijl</b> is Assistant Professor in Work and Organizational Psychology at the University of Amsterdam.
