This book, the first to address issues of reflection in the context of work, is an accessible entry point into the theory and practice of work reflection for students and practitioners. Consisting of contributions from diverse range of international authorities in the areas of management, education, organizational psychology and sociology, it draws on examples from work settings in Europe, the Middle East, North America and Australia. While there has been previous work on reflection in educational settings and reflective practice in the context of the work of individual professionals, none of these deals with the challenges faced by reflection in organizations and in a variety of work groups. Here, reflection is productive rather than contemplative. A key innovation of this book is its focus on the social collective aspects of reflection - people reflecting together in the workplace. Crossing the boundaries of different disciplines, this book draws together different views of reflection delivering a secure grounding in academic thinking and working practice. Topical and timely, with international appeal and world-renowned contributors, this well-written text engages both students and practitioners and will be a valuable asset to those in the fields of HRM, organizational behaviour and education.

Industry Reviews

'Productive Reflection at Work is a magnificent book that opens up new analytical avenues regarding the collective dimension of reflection at work' - Elena Bou Business School (URL) Barcelona Management Learning

'Productive Reflection at Work is a major addition to the literature on reflection at work. The focus of the book is on the idea that reflection is what connects learning and work. The Editors emphasize the importance of reflecting together in the workplace, and they highlight the learning that can occur when productivity and interpersonal engagement are explicitly linked. The book provides the foundations for future thinking about the organization of reflection, and especially helps to transform the current over-emphasis on individuals' ability to reflect with clear and comprehensive arguments for collective reflection. This book is essential reading for all scholars and practitioners with an interest in learning and work. It moves across disciplines, drawing together a fascinating and important compilation of views on collective and organizational reflection. David Boud, Peter Cressey and Peter Docherty are leading the development of a new idea - productive reflection - and they have generated a collection of chapters to demonstrate its importance and value. This volume is a significant and welcome contribution to our understanding of how reflection can be embedded into work organizations.' - Russ Vince, Professor of Organizational Behaviour and HRM, the University of Hull, UK
