Organisations and the Psychological Contract

This is an excellent text for practicing managers and students on management and occupational psychology courses. It deals with all aspects of organizational life from recruitment and selection to motivation, leadership and organizational change. The book provides a comprehensive coverage of all aspects of behavior at work. The book has two main aims in exploring these issues in the organisation context: to act as a handbook for practising managers, and as a basic text in management courses. Relevant theories are explained and developed using practical examples, self-assessment exercises and case studies. This is a revised and much expanded version of Managing People at Work, with the addition of chapters on selection and career development, understanding and coping with change, empowerment and self-management, and the behavioural approach to motivation.Makin, Peter is the author of 'Organisations and the Psychological Contract ', published 0013 under ISBN 9781854331687 and ISBN 185433168X.
