Summary
An informative and entertaining guide to the latest psychological issues that are shaping who we are and how we work – from general differences and corporate cultures, to assessing candidates and handling elite performers.
Psychology at Work examines some of the key issues that, in every modern workplace, are impacting our lives, shaping our interactions with colleagues, and even impacting our chances of promotion. Psychological issues have always played a part at work, but in our hybrid, disconnected offices, with colleagues who could be on the next continent or in the next room, new and challenging conditions are making themselves known.
The language of psychology offers clear descriptions and explanations for all sort of phenomena, including many more modern conditions. Knowing more about how these conditions manifest themselves and how they can be treated can help people to feel happier, and better able to identify and realize their full potential.
Adrian Furnham takes a deep dive into 50 of the most common issues facing everyone in the workplace – from the seemingly innocuous (such as competitiveness and gossip) to the downright dangerous (such as leadership derailment or passive-aggressive bureaucrats). Understanding how these forces shape behaviour in the workplace will allow you to tackle hidden stresses at work and ultimately to build the most positive and rewarding work-life balance.©2026 Adrian Furnham (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
