Description
A great deal of attention is focused on the problem of improving the working environment. The research involved is not merely a question of improving industrial relations but rather it forms part of the entire inter-disciplinary search for ways of improving the quality of working life. This volume, first published in 1977, presents a range of views from researchers in a variety of disciplines to illustrate what has already been achieved and what goals and objectives ought to be set. This title will be of interest to students of business studies and human resource management.
