Resumen
"Work engagement is an intriguing dimension of workplace psychology. According to a study done by Gallup, 87% of employees identify as either not engaged or actively disengaged, and actively disengaged employees currently outnumber engaged employees 2-to-1. To make sense of people's behavior in complex organizations, instead of offering a dry presentation of organizational psychology theories, Chantal Gautier analyzes transcripts from interviews with people at different levels in various types of organizations and sheds light into real organizational work practices. Personal narratives, exercises and reflective practices make the material relatable to everybody's experience. The Psychology of Work explores the role of integrity, recognition, commitment, leadership, communication, and autonomy in employee engagement and happiness. It raises awareness of current working practices and stresses the need for change. Offering very practical advice, Gautier emphasizes the importance of putting the "humane" back into organizational life."-- "The Psychology of Work integrates psychological theory with personal narrative from global industry leaders, as well as those entering the workforce, to offer tangible insights into the real world of work. It is ideal for students, professionals and anyone with an interest in how successful organizations operate. It charts the development of the field of organizational psychology and provides the key theoretical frameworks. Crucially, it explores how these can be utilised to enhance organizational culture, and why this is so relevant and important in the modern workplace. Through the inclusion of interviews with students, The Psychology of Work reveals what the future workforce expect of the organizations that they are going in to and encourages students reading the book to reflect on what kind of leaders they would like to be. The book is also a valuable resource to support professionals and practitioners, highlighting current working practices and the need for change, offering practical guidance on how to bring the 'humane' back into organizational life"--

Resumen
Building engagement is crucial for every organization. But the traditional top-down coercive change management paradigm--in which leaders "light a fire" under employees--actually discourages engagement. Richard Axelrod offers a better way. After debunking six common change management myths, he offers a proven, practical strategy for getting everyone--not just select committees or working groups--enthusiastically committed to organizational transformation. This revised edition features new interviews--everyone from the vice president of global citizenship at Cirque du Soleil to a Best Buy clerk.

Resumen
There is a myth in American and other first-world business cultures that being tough and unreasonable are keys to extracting high productivity from employees, but profound economic, demographic, and cultural change are creating a workplace where that myth can no longer be believed. People who are hard to work for will face increasing difficulty in finding top-quality employees, especially highly educated ones. If your organization has this problem, it could seriously hamper the accomplishment of strategic objectives. This book explains how to use positive management (PM) as an organization-wide strategy to motivate employees, increase productivity, and accomplish organizational goals by creating upbeat and dignified relationships in the workplace. It covers the use of PM in a variety of situations, including difficult and negative ones, to achieve higher employee commitment and motivation, to lower communication inefficiencies, and to reduce absenteeism and turnover.
