This edited volume in SIOP's Organizational Frontiers Series presents the current thinking and research on the important area of motivation.Work Motivation is a central issue in Industrial organizational psychology, human resource management and organizational behavior. In this volume the editors and authors show that motivation must be seen as a multi-level phenomenon where individual, group, organizational and cultural variables must be considered to truly understand it. The book adopts an overall framework that encompasses ''internal'' - from the person - forces and ''external'' - from the immediate and more distant environment - forces. It is destined to challenge scholars of organizations to give renewed emphasis and attention to advancing our understanding of motivation in work situations.

SIOP组织前沿系列中的这一编辑卷介绍了激励这一重要领域的当前思考和研究。工作激励是工业组织心理学、人力资源管理和组织行为学的核心问题。在这本书中，编辑和作者表明，动机必须被视为一种多层次的现象，其中必须考虑个人、群体、组织和文化变量，才能真正理解它。这本书采用了一个整体框架，包括“内部”——来自人的力量和“外部”——来自直接和更遥远的环境——力量。这注定会挑战组织学者重新重视和关注提高我们对工作环境中动机的理解。
