Work Psychology and Organizational Behaviour: Managing the Individual at Work

This illuminating and incisive textbook traces the development of work psychology and organizational behaviour from the early twentieth century to the present day. Far from being a conventional history of ideas, it is a demonstration of how each emerging school of thought has reflected the search for solutions to particular management problems, within specific social, political and economic contexts. Its primary focus is the relations among knowledge, power and practice. Hollway deftly documents the key developments in the field, from scientific management and industrial psychology, through the human relations movement, to such current concerns as organizational culture, leadership and human resources management. She examinHollway, Wendy is the author of 'Work Psychology and Organizational Behaviour: Managing the Individual at Work', published 1991 under ISBN 9780803983533 and ISBN 0803983530.
