内容説明

* How adequate is existing social psychological theorising? * How useful is social psychology to management? * How can social psychology and management handle the changes facing organizations and society in the information age? Social Psychology and Management sets out a dialogue between social psychology on the one hand and management on the other, showing how social psychology can benefit from taking greater account of the important and quite specific social contexts in which management is involved. The book discusses the topics of motivation, teamwork and leadership, groups and technology, and networked organizations and careers - using illustrative examples taken from events surrounding the Maxwell Corporation, the Barings Bank collapse and the Challenger disaster. The implications of computer and telecommunications technologies for work are discussed in terms of their significance for employment and skills as well as for management, and the author concludes with a discussion of the challenges of science and professionalism for social psychological investigation and management techniques. Social psychology is concerned with the fundamental science of groups and interpersonal behaviour. Management is seen as a social activity within an organized context concerned with groups and individuals performing tasks and making decisions. In a world of change, this book explores the tensions and commonalties between the two, with an accessible style appropriate for undergraduates and the authority to provide essential reading for researchers.
