Overview

This is a very readable introductory textbook for the study of human behaviour at work. It gives a well-balanced and comprehensive coverage of the field, and this second edition has been updated with new material in such topical areas as new technology, women and employment, the flexibility debate, stress, and corporate culture. New case examples are drawn from original research. It is ideal for undergraduate business studies, MBA programmes, and professional management qualifications courses. ""This is a good book ...It is easy to read, references well and covers many areas of contemporary interest in a balanced way. It uses the disciplinary boundaries which possibly exist between psychology and socioloigy rather than trying in some half-hearted way to transcend them.""

--Fincham and Rhodes': The Individual, Work and Organization seeks to provide a holistic view of the human problems of work by combining findings from psychology, sociology and social psychology. This the authors do with a rare degree of success. Their book is a model of clarity, good organization and, unlike some others, ideological even-handedness. --Laurence Alster, Times Educational Supplement<br>
