     Summary

The management of human resources has been undergoing radical rethinking in recent years. Development in the behavioural sciences has been considerable, and their applicability to personnel management has become more pervasive and conclusive. Of similar significance has been the growth of legal implications concerning people at work. Concurrent with these developments have been the changing expectations of the work force and the demand for greater participation in the control of decisions. It is becoming increasingly difficult for the personnel manager to keep up to date with all the changes taking place in this field. This book is an attempt to provide a comprehensive work of reference for the practicing manager, to keep him in touch with what is happening in his own filed of work, and in those that are closely related.
