These abstracts form the collection of papers which were presented in full at the 5th Australian Industrial/Organisational Psychology conference held in Melbourne, 26-29 July, 2003. Papers were accepted for either paper presentation or poster presentation following a peer-review process (2 reviewers per paper). The collection covers the full range of 1 / 0 topics. The 580 delegates who attended came from 18 different countries around the world, with the keynote speakers speaking on 'hot-topics' of interest to both academics and practitioners alike.
