Author Description

"Britain at Work presents a detailed analysis of the 1998 Workplace Employee Relations Survey." "Across Britain, managers and worker representatives in over 3,000 workplaces were interviewed about all aspects of employment relations in their workplace. Almost 30,000 employees in those workplace completed a questionnaire about their working life. The results are statistically reliable and fully representative of British employment in all bar the smallest workplaces, linking the views of employees with those of managers and worker representatives from the same workplace. The authors produce a portrait of how the contemporary employment relationship is shaped and negotiated, the expectations and obligations of managers and the managed, the factors which condition it, and its consequences." "Representing the authoritative source on the world of work today, Britain at Work is for students and researchers interested in employee relations and organisational practices, for both the policy analyst and practising manager."--BOOK JACKET.
