Synopsis
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." Professor Gibson Burell, Warwick Busines School. " ...great value to all those in their first two years on an undergraudte course in business and management studies." Wendy Currie, New Technology, Work and Employment "Fincham and Rhodes' The Individual, Work and Organization seeks to provide a holistic view of the human problems of work by combining findings from pscyhology, sociology and social psychology. This book is intended for first and second year students of organizational behaviour for management and business. Also relevant at more advanced levels, particularly in human resource management and organization studies.
