Recent advances in technology have dramatically altered the manner in which organizations function, transforming the way people think about and perform their work. The implications of these trends continue to evolve as emerging innovations adapt to and are adapted by organizations, workers, and other components of the socio-technical systems in which they are embedded. A rigorous consideration of these implications is needed to understand, manage, and drive the reciprocal interplay between technology and the workplace. This edited volume brings together top scholars within and outside of the field of industrial and organizational (I-O) psychology to explore the psychological and organizational effects of contemporary workplace technologies. A special section is included at the end of the book by four experts in the field entitled Reflections and Future Directions.

The rapid advancements in technology, and our increasing interaction with it, have key implications for the field of psychology. The Psychology of Technology brings together research from different subdisciplines across psychology to address the ways in which technology and Big Data are changing how psychological research is conducted. It also examines how technology allows us to better understand human psychology. This text showcases cutting-edge research at the intersection of psychology and technology to provide an outlook into the future of psychological research in a tech-enabled world. The growing capabilities and reach of technology show no signs of abating, so it is critically important that psychology understand it and harness it effectively and ethically. Chapters offer fascinating and novel insights about the human condition using digital technologies as a window into human psychology, highlight the opportunities and challenges people face interacting with digital tech, and address the consequences of technology for individuals and societies. The intricacies of human-machine interaction, analyses of digital footprints, and "big data" approaches are investigated in detail.

Experts from across all industrial-organizational (IO) psychology describe how increasingly rapid technological change has affected the field. In each chapter, authors describe how this has altered the meaning of IO research within a particular subdomain and what steps must be taken to avoid IO research from becoming obsolete. This Handbook presents a forward-looking review of IO psychology's understanding of both workplace technology and how technology is used in IO research methods. Using interdisciplinary perspectives to further this understanding and serving as a focal text from which this research will grow, it tackles three main questions facing the field. First, how has technology affected IO psychological theory and practice to date? Second, given the current trends in both research and practice, could IO psychological theories be rendered obsolete? Third, what are the highest priorities for both research and practice to ensure IO psychology remains appropriately engaged with technology moving forward?
