| Summary |
To achieve and maintain a competitive edge, organization leaders have realized that they must find the most effective training possible for their workforce. They ask what kinds of training they need in order to adapt to an uncertain future and to an ever-changing and increasingly volatile workplace. ... Inspired by these emergent issues, "Training for a Rapidly Changing Workplace: Applications of Psychological Research" brings together researchers from the areas of industrial-organizational, motivational, and cognitive psychology, as well as human factors engineering, computer science, and other related disciplines to study human learning and its applications to training.
