Creating Sustainable Work Systems

US$ 74.95 (+ tax)
Promoting competitive and sustainable growth is an issue throughout the industrialized countries. While the need is well-recognised and urgent, solutions have emerged and disseminated only slowly. Furthermore, many of the experimented remedies for lagging competitiveness have increased work intensity, but have not met the competitiveness requirements of even the immediate future. The increased intensity of work is not only claiming a human toll but is also having an adverse effect on the quality of operations and business. New work organizational approaches are obviously needed to save companies and jobs, and to enhance employees' well-being and employability. The book is organized in four sections: Framing, Perspectives, Illustrations and Attainment. The framing provides a grounding in the key research issues and the historical evolutionary dimensions of work and work intensity. The perspectives sections presents a range of paradigms, concepts, conceptual frameworks, ideas and lenses from different academic disciplines to examine the emerging practice.
