ABSTRACT
On May 29, 2004, friends, students, and colleagues of Ben Schneider gathered at the University of Maryland to pay tribute to his remarkable career (a career that is far from over). This book is the outcome of that gathering and the work of those impacted by both Ben’s friendship and his scholarship. The chapters in this book represent updates to some of Ben’s seminal work (e.g., on climate and the attraction-selection-attrition [ASA] model), extensions of his thinking into new areas (like ethics), and the occasional challenge to some of his original ideas (e.g., the role of situations as behavioral determinants). The chapters stand alone as signi- cant contributions to our understanding of the psychology of work. At the same time, they reveal the substantial impact Ben has had on the eld. My role has simply been to organize the papers into a book-a task made quite simple by the quality of the authors’ work.
