Robin Fincham is Lecturer in Business Studies at the University of Stirling.
"--Fincham and Rhodes': The Individual, Work and Organization seeks to provide a holistic view of the human problems of work by combining findings from psychology, sociology and social psychology. This the authors do with a rare degree of success. Their book is a model of clarity, good organization and, unlike some others, ideological even-handedness."--Laurence Alster, Times Educational Supplement
