People Make the Place

This volume, in honor of Ben Schneider, highlights Ben's work on the Attraction-Selection-Attrition (ASA) model of organizational behavior which has become one of the most important models in the history of Personnel Psychology. The central tenet of the ASA model is that people matter. Although organizational structure processes, and climate and culture are important, they are fundamentally a reflection of the unique collection of people who populate an organization. This edited volume of original scholarly contributions will add insight to the many implications of Schneider's thinking on the ASA model and organizational climate. Given the popularity of Schneider's original article on this model and the amount of research it spawned, this volume will be of interest to all academics and practioners in the organizational sciences.
