Synopsis

This book looks at four types of organizations and what makes them work. The four are not exhaustive of all possible organizational types but they do represent the major forms found in the world today. Drawing upon many years of research, the author argues that the organizational effectiveness required to produce high levels of productivity results from achieving a state of integration between the type of organizational system and the kind of people who fill the key positions in the system.

About this title

Review:

." . . "Role Motivation Theories is a most impressive book. It is clearly written. The theoretical framework provides a model for future research into trait theories of leadership and could be used with advantage in the development of more valid and practical content theories of work motivation. The issue of cultural and individual differences is address with admirable, and rare, thoroughness and, throughout, Miner provides a very balanced account of his theories of merit and limitations."
