Deftly blending social and business history with economic analysis,
"Employing Bureaucracy" shows how the American workplace shifted
from a market-oriented system to a bureaucratic one over the course
of the 20th century. Jacoby explains how an unstable, haphazard
employment relationship evolved into one that was more enduring,
equitable, and career-oriented. This revised edition presents a new
analysis of recent efforts to re-establish a market orientation in
the workplace.
This book is a definitive history of the human resource management
profession in the United States, showing its diverse roots in
engineering, welfare work, and vocational guidance. It explores the
recurring tension between the new professional order and
traditional line management. Using a variety of sources, Jacoby
analyzes the complex relations between personnel managers, labor
unions, and government from the late 19th century to the present.
"Employing Bureaucracy: "
*analyzes the origins of the modern employment relationship's
distinctive features;
*combines a variety of disciplinary perspectives, from business and
labor history to economics, sociology, and management;
*shows the transformation of the American workplace over the course
of the 20th century, from market-oriented to bureaucratic to recent
efforts to move back to a market orientation; and
*provides the single-best and most sophisticated history of the
origins and development of the modern "HR" profession.
For historians, social scientists, and practitioners, this book is
a readable and rewarding study. With the future of work currently
under debate, it is critical that the historical process that
produced the modernAmerican workplace is understood.
