The psychology of work : insights into successful working practices / Chantal Gautier.

2024-05-15T10:14:47Z

by Gautier, Chantal.
Call Number 158.7 23
Publication Date 2015
Summary "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"--

Moral gray zones [electronic resource] : side productions, identity, and regulation in an aeronautic plant / Michel Anteby.

2024-05-15T10:14:47Z

by Anteby, Michel, 1970- author.
Call Number 174.4 22 22
Publication Date 2008
Summary Anyone who has been employed by an organization knows not every official workplace regulation must be followed. When management consistently overlooks such breaches, spaces emerge in which both workers and supervisors engage in officially prohibited, yet tolerated practices--gray zones. When discovered, these transgressions often provoke disapproval; when company materials are diverted in the process, these breaches are quickly labeled theft. Yet, why do gray zones persist and why are they unlikely to disappear? In Moral Gray Zones, Michel Anteby shows how these spaces function as regulating mechanisms within workplaces, fashioning workers' identity and self-esteem while allowing management to maintain control.

Publication Date 2010
Summary Using the frameworks of psychoanalysis, group relations, systemic organisational observation, consulting and research, this book explores the relationship between the health of the work force and the health of organisations. It seeks to do this through an exploration of experience that has three dimensions linked in a single matrix: The bodily, the emotional and the social. This exploration is inspired by Bion's original idea of the protomental matrix from which the group dynamics of basic assumption mentality are derived, leading to his initial ideas about group diseases and their cures.

Call Number 158.7 22
Publication Date 2011
Summary This annual research series is devoted to the examination of occupational stress, health and well being, with particular emphasis on the multi-disciplinary nature of occupational stress. Titles pull together the various streams of research from a variety of disciplines to better capture the significant bodies of work in occupational stress and well being. Volume 9 specifically examines the role of individual difference in occupational stress, health and well being. Individual differences include emotion, personality and even differences in cognition. Seven chapters by authors from three countries and six states, from professions including psychology, sociology and management, analyse topics such as: emotion regulation; narcissism; cognitive adaptation; resiliency; individual differences as they relate to high-risk professions; and resources as they relate to entitled employees. This volume provides a thorough and critical assessment of knowledge, and gaps in knowledge, in this engaging area of interest in the field of occupational stress. It is highly recommended reading for academic and government researchers in psychology, business, health and well being, education and sociology.
