Preface
Work Organization and Human Resource Management
covers issues related to the
new advances in work organization and human resource management that result
from the continuous and highly complex process of change that today’s organiza-
tions are facing. In the present, as a consequence of social, technological, political
and economic changes, the field of work and organizations management becomes
highly complex, claiming management for more effective strategies. Conscious of
this reality this book looks to provide support to academics and researchers, as
well as those operating in the management field, to deal with policies and strate-
gies related to work issues and human resource management.
Effective work practices and good employee relations are a real necessity of
today’s organizations, as they can help to reduce absenteeism, turnover, organiza-
tional costs, conducting to high levels of commitment, effectiveness, performance
as well as productivity. Addressing these questions, this book focuses on the impli-
cations of those changes in work organization and human resource management.
Drawing on the latest developments, ideas, research and the best practice,
the book intends to examine the new advances in work organization and human
resource management resulting from the recent changes that are taking place and
how they affect the management as well as the commitment and motivation of
these organizations’ workers.
