Organizations in America

Based on the findings of the National Organizations Study, Organizations in America provides a comprehensive review of the first national survey of organizations in the United States. Using a statistically representative sample, this work is the most authoritative database on the workings of organizations available. The principal investigators of the study use this data set to define what we know about the structures and human resource practice in U.S. organizations and describes the National Organizations study and its implications; specific employment practices - hiring, training, promotion, performance measurement, benefit packages, contingent work - and how they compare between different businesses and business sectors; and differences between male and female employees. This breakthrough publication is an indispensable reference tool for those in the areas of organizational studies, human resources, sociology of work, industrial psychology, social stratification, labor, and labor economics.
