"Just-in-time", "total quality management", "lean manufacturing", "call centres", "team work", "empowerment" - most people in business have heard these buzz words, often offered as a panacea to all profit ills. So why don't they always work? Can you combine them anyhow? If not, why not?

The New Workplace Handbook is a comprehensive guide to the evidence available on how modern working practices and technology affect the people in organizations. Within a broad psychological framework, leading experts examine how people work, their experience of work, the impact on productivity and performance and the human resource implications. Guidance is offered on a range of different methods, tools and practices that can be used to guide the design and implementation of modern working practices to ensure that pitfalls are avoided and the best possible results are obtained from new initiatives.

Indispensable for consultants, this Handbook will also be useful for students and scholars in the psychology of business, human resource professionals and anyone involved in the management of new working practices.

Dalla quarta di copertina:
We are all increasingly familiar with modern business terms such as total quality management, just-in-time production, e-business, lean manufacturing and teleworking. But what really lies behind these terms and what effect do these and other new practices have on productivity and performance and, crucially, what is their social and psychological impact?

Written by leading authors from around the world, The New Workplace provides an up-to-date assessment of research into the human effects of new working practices, including team-working, call centres, virtual organizations and supply chain partnering. The impact on productivity and performance is considered in detail in a later section, while the final sections give guidance on a range of methods and tools for evaluating the social and psychological effects, as well as looking to the future. The practical focus means that The New Workplace can be used to help with the design and implementation of new working practices, ensuring that best results are achieved.

Indispensable for students and scholars of organizational psychology, The New Workplace will also be useful for consultants, as well as human resource managers and others charged with the management of new working practices.
