| In 1971 I wrote in the precursor to this volume that I had tried to write abook that would reflect theoretical concerns, practical interests, and theever changing demands made on those who administer our work organi-zations by the world around them. While much the same interests haveguided me here, there are some changes also. Most significant of these, Ibelieve, is the increased focus in this book on work as a social institutionand as a psycho-social experience. This is a change which I believe is notonly necessary because of societal demands that those interested in"work" should examine it, but which is also desirable if we are to make"work" a better experience for individuals, organizations, and society. Toillustrate, we now have a societal movement where many women areclamoring to have the type of experience (i.e., work) that some men areclamoring to leave. Why? Paradoxes such as this come under examinationhere. |
