Why do people choose the careers they do? What factors cause people to be satisfied with their work? No single work did more to make concepts like motive, goal incentive, and attitude part of the workplace vocabulary. This landmark work, originally published in 1964, integrates the work of hundreds of researchers in individual workplace behavior to explain choice of work, job satisfaction, and job performance. Includes an extensive new introduction that highlights and updates his model for current organization behavior educators and students, as well as professionals who must extract the highest levels of productivity from today's downsized workforces.

Outstanding
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
I included this in the literature review portion of my research project on retention and turnover. I enjoyed it so much after borrowing from the library and reading it that I had to have a copy for myself. Vroom does have some valid criticism of Herzberg's conclusions regarding hygiene versus motivation and the two-factor theory, but some is unfounded and even in err. But, in general, this is an outstanding treatment on work and motivation. A classic!
