and vocational counseling, women's studies (particularly those addressing
work issues), and selected topics. Furthermore, it can serve as a centerpiece
in a topics course devoted to gender in the workplace that might be offered
within the curriculum of I/O, vocational psychology, or management,
where it can be supplemented by primary research articles or selected
book chapters.

This book could not have been completed without the help of a number
of colleagues and institutions. First, we are extremely grateful to Frank
(Skip) Saal and Barbara Gutek, both of whom collaborated in the earlier
stages of this project. Their suggestions, insights, and contributions were
extremely valuable and helped to shape the book. Second, we are grateful
for the support we received from Colorado State University (specifically,
Scott Hamilton as chair of the Department of Psychology) and Southern
Illinois University in all of the phases of producing this book. Some of
the early work on this book was done while on visiting appointments to
the University of California, Berkeley ( Cleveland and Murphy), and the
University of Arizona ( Stockdale); we greatly appreciate the use of their
facilities and the opportunities to interact with colleagues in several related
disciplines. We ( Cleveland and Murphy) completed this book while on
sabbatical at the University of Limerick, Ireland; we thank the university,
the College of Business, and the Department of Personnel and Employment
Relations, particularly Joe Wallace, for their help and support.

Finally, we appreciate the help and encouragement of Ray O'Connell
and Anne Duffy, who have been patient and supportive throughout the
process of writing and publishing this book.
