This is the first book to offer students a comprehensive foundation in behavioral studies. It develops psychological and sociological perspectives in a distinctive but complementary way, ranging across several different levels of analysis-individual, group, occupational and organizational. Focusing on relevant areas within the work context, the authors adopt a critical discipline-based approach, providing students with an up-to-date account of theoretical developments and empirical research from the main areas of occupational psychology, industrial sociology and organization theory. Topics such as work-related stress and alternative job design are thoroughly explored, as are current debates on the labor process and new technology. This book is a valuable introductory text for all business and management students, as well as being highly relevant to more advanced levels of study, particularly those in human resource management and industrial relations.
