Dear HR Division Colleagues,
I am pleased to share with you the Winter 2025 issue of Personnel Psychology. Our outgoing editorial team has a collective farewell (please see the first Editorial). We have 6 articles for the Social Networks and Networking Special Issue (more will appear in future issues). In addition, there are 13 original articles and 1 book review. Please let me know if you need a PDF version of any article.
We also have a webpage for Special Issues and Article Collections (here), where you can find articles for the AI/Machine Learning/Big Data special issue, Problematic Leadership, Work-Family Interface, and DEI topics. All the Social Networks and Networking special issue articles will also appear on this webpage in future.
