Industrial and organizational psychology (I-O psychology) contributes to an organization's success by improving the job performance, wellbeing, motivation, job satisfaction, and the health and safety of employees. Given the extent to which organizations today are increasingly comprised of employees from different cultural and language backgrounds, studying the cultural aspect of I-O psychology has become a necessity. The post-pandemic world in which the remote or hybrid workplace is becoming increasingly common adds importance to the multicultural perspective in the discipline due to the distances involved between employees and management.

The Handbook of Research on Applied Multicultural Industrial and Organizational Psychology provides updated research on applied I-O psychology within a culturally conscious context that can be used for future research directions in the field by academicians and practitioners alike. Covering topics such as employability, motivation theories, and workplace culture, this major reference work is a comprehensive resource for I-O psychologists, business leaders and managers, entrepreneurs, human resource managers, government officials, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
