This volume is the first to directly examine the presence,
maintenance, and advancement of Hispanics in the U.S. workforce. As
such, this book makes a significant contribution to one of many
glaring gaps of information pertaining to the soon-to-be largest
minority population in the United States. . . . This book will
serve as good reference material for information on Hispanics in
the workforce and, I hope, will spur additional interest and
research on this important yet ignored population. --Contemporary
Sociology "Hispanics in the Workplace provides a very interesting
and useful discussion of the status of this important group in our
work force. I enthusiastically recommend it for use in graduate
seminars on industrial and organizational psychology and human
resources management." --Mary K. Schratz, Ph.D., California State
University, Long Beach "This book addresses very important issues,
seldom discussed in the literature. It is full of valuable
information that brings the reader up to date on statistics, data,
facts and analyses concerning issues of relevance to Latinos and to
policy makers and social scientists. The book increases our
understanding of the Latino work force, the problems they face, and
suggests useful approaches and programs. An important resource for
anyone interested in this population." --Oliva M. Espin, San Diego
State University "A major contribution to the literature, Hispanics
in the Workplace goes beyond the common demographic projections to
in-depth studies of Hispanic groups. It is an excellent resource
for descriptive statistics on Hispanics in the U.S.--especially on
work force participation and education. Its analyses of how equal
opportunity programs, mentoring, and litigation have affected
Hispanics as a group will be very helpful to managers and policy
developers." --Catherine A. Riordan, University of Missouri-Rolla
"Bravo! Knouse, Rosenfeld, and Culbertson provide us with a
significant look at the issues related to Hispanics at work. It
should be required reading for those interested in work force
diversity." --Robert A. Giacalone, University of Richmond "It
provides an excellent interdisciplinary perspective and coverage of
the literature on Hispanics in the workplace." --Harry C. Triandis,
University of Illinois, U-C "This volume of 14 chapters, each
written by a different author, provides an in-depth view of the
Hispanic work force. Collectively, the chapters present a
comprehensive explanation of employment factors; Hispanic work
problems; mentoring systems for Hispanics; work issues for Hispanic
women; and background on Hispanic work experiences in government
and private sectors of the Us economy. Individual chapters are well
written. . . . Readers interested in an intensive, rather
statistical, perspective of the Hispanic work force will find this
a useful reference." --Choice "Hispanics in the Workplace is
important reading for anyone who would study Hispanic workforce
characteristics, employment problems, and psychological as well as
work challenges. Papers presented here are scholarly but do a fine
job of using studies to pinpoint particular problems and trends
unique to the Hispanic cultural experience. The link between
workplace choice and experience and Hispanic psyche is strong."
--Bookwatch, WYOU-TV, Madison, WI Hispanics are the fastest growing
minority in the United States and are filling an increasingly
significant portion of the work force. However, despite these
facts, little or no research to date has been conducted to address
this issue. The first in its field, Hispanics in the Workplace
presents a comprehensive exploration of Hispanic employment
factors, problems at work, support systems, Hispanic women and
work, and work in the government and private sectors. Contributors
include notable researchers who uncover such specific topics as
entry into employment, work force characteristics, recruiting and
selection, training and development, special problems of women, job
satisfaction, stress management, work ethic, stereotyping, and
language barriers. They address various opportunities and problems
of Hispanics they relate to the military, civilians in the
military, the private sector, and entrepreneurs. If you are a
professional, academic, or student of management, organization
studies, sociology, human resources, and/or ethnic studies, this
groundbreaker will prove to be an essential tool for you.
