Searching for the Human in Human Resource Management: Theory, Practice and Workplace Contexts (Management, Work and Organisations, 37)

This is a contributed text that challenges the traditional way in which the management of people is often viewed solely within an economic framework by acknowledging that human relations are social, reciprocal, multi-dimensional and embedded in group and societal dynamics. The contributions come from a range of international experts and explore the tensions that come about due to a neglect of the social nature of human relations in the workplace.
