Myths About People at Work: A Critique of Human-resource Management (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781019952535)

In this thought-provoking book, James W Driscoll presents a critical analysis of the contemporary discourse about workplace management, focusing on the myths that have been perpetuated by the human-resource management industry.
