Reviews
In 20 chapters, this collection provides an overview of the major issues affecting today's workforce. Risher (a principal of a consulting firm) and Fay (human resource management, Rutgers Univ.) divide these chapters into seven major sections: emerging trends in the workforce, workforce organization, leadership, management systems, pay and incentives, labor-management relations, and the future of the workforce. The authors of the individual chapters include a wide variety of both human resource specialists and academics. Most of the chapters include background information and techniques and approaches for increasing worker effectiveness. Though the editors include many of the major topics associated with workforce productivity, there is only a brief mention of the role of demographics, including diversity, gender, and family life issues. Nevertheless, the various viewpoints and approaches covered will be of great interest and use to both managers and human resources personnel. Recommended for public libraries.?Gary W.
