Elton Mayo - The Humanist Temper (Paperback): Richard C.S. Trahair, Abraham Zaleznik Elton Mayo - The Humanist Temper (Paperback)
Richard C.S. Trahair, Abraham Zaleznik
R1,375 Discovery Miles 13 750 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The definitive biography of the life and work of Elton Mayo (1880-1949) is the first full, accurate account of the activities and intimate life of one of Australia and America's pioneering social scientists. Mayo, who established the scientific study of organizational behavior, was highly influential in American social science and business management theory, following his work at the Harvard Business School and the Western Electric Company.

Still the subject of vigorous debate, Mayo's ideas spanned several disciplines--psychology, sociology, philosophy, and business management. Mayo developed the field of industrial psychology by applying the results of scientific research to the problems of work in order to improve the life of industrial workers and managers and to encourage collaboration between administrators and their subordinates. Trahair's biography traces the origins of Mayo's ideas in order to help clarify aspects of the debate.

Alfred W. Clark of La Trobe University commented, "It will become a definitive biography...it is based on a masterly grasp of detail into Mayo's life, theories and impact.... Trahair's expression is always clear and lively; he never writes a turgid sentence, let alone a paragraph"; while Arthur G. Bedeian at Auburn University noted that Elton Mayo A Humanist Temper is "laced with wit and insight, and graced with style. For all its scholarship, it is wholly readable. Historians interested in the development of the social sciences should find the book particularly valuable. It offers a searching example of the scientific enterprise."

Das Menschliche Dilemma Der Fuhrung (German, Paperback, 1976 ed.): Abraham Zaleznik Das Menschliche Dilemma Der Fuhrung (German, Paperback, 1976 ed.)
Abraham Zaleznik
R1,708 Discovery Miles 17 080 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

von George P. Baker, Dekan an der Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration Dieses Buch bringt eine psychologische Untersuchung von Fuhrung und von den speziellen Froblemen, denen sich Men schen gegenubers ehen, die Autoritat in Organisationen ver korpern. Bei der Vorstellung dieses Werkes sind einige Hin weise auf den Verfasser von besonderem Interesse. Frofessor Zaleznik, der bereits seit 1954 Mitglied der Fa kultat der Harvard Graduate School of Business Administra tion ist, hat sich auf die Untersuchung des menschlichen Verhaltens in Or ganisationen spez ialis iert. Seine Fors chung, seine Schriften und seine Lehre auf diesem Gebiet haben sich auf die Untersuchung konzentriert, wie Menschen die durch komplexe Organisationen geschaffenen Moglichkeiten und Beschrankungen bewaltigen. Er hat deutlich den Schwer punkt darauf gelegt, was der einzelne tun kann, um das Be rufs- und Frivatleben fur sich effektvoller zu gestalten. Er sieht den einzelnen nicht als Spielball unpersonlicher Krafte grosser Organisationen, sondern ist an der Untersuchung menschlicher und personlicher Organisationen interessiert, wie sie sich aus aktiven und verantwortungsbewussten Men schen zusammensetzen, Menschen, die in der Lage sind, ihr eigenes Schicksal zu lenken. Die von ihm in diesem Buch vertretene Meinung beruht, ob wohl sie mit humanistischen und ethischen Prinzipien ver bunden ist, auf wissenschaftlichen psychologischen Grund lagen. Die besondere, von ihm angewandte Psychologie ist in den klinischen und theoretischen Konzepten der Fsycho- analyse verwurzelt, wie sie von Sigmund Freud und seinen Schulern entwickelt wurde."
