Description: "In an increasingly competitive and globalized business environment, organizational effectiveness depends heavily on the commitment and involvement of employees, and the centrality of work in their lives. Organizations which care for the well-being of their employees and proactively draw on societal resources are able to cultivate such a work culture in their employees. The work culture of an organization, in effect, constitutes a subset of the larger societal nature. As a consequence, the values, beliefs and assumptions prevalent in a particular cultural milieu determine to a large extent the pattern of work culture likely to prevail in an organization located in that milieu."

"In this book, Jai B.P. Sinha continues his exploration of an area of research that has come to be closely associated with him - work culture in formal organizations."--Jacket.
