In this book, first published in 1975, the author critically
examines the organisation of work, the systems of control, and the
patterns of authority in British establishments. By bringing
together detailed descriptions of alternative forms of work
organisation and management from Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the
USA, Paul Dickson provokes considerable thought as to the extent to
which these models could be developed and applied in the UK. This
title will be of interest to students of business studies and human
resource management.

Before the passage of the Employee Polygraph Protection Act of
1988, thousands of companies used polygraph examinations to assess
job applicants' predisposition to engage in dishonest activities.
Despite the virtual outlawing of this procedure, screening
alternatives are still needed in business. In this work, Dr. John
Jones presents the current research on honesty, or integrity,
tests, providing a thorough discussion of the available
alternatives as well as a summary of the Model Guidelines to be
used for honesty testing programs. The book covers the history of
honesty testing, the current state-of-the-art research, and
assessments of future trends and applications.
The work is divided into four separate sections. The first four
chapters chronicle the 40-year history of integrity testing,
summarize how companies attempt to control employee theft, and
review research showing that the use of honesty tests yields a
meaningful return-on-investment. The second section focuses on
current research trends. Among the topics discussed are the
psychometric properties of a leading integrity test, the
theoretical foundation for overt honesty tests, the accuracy of
tests and ways to reduce classification errors, applicants'
reactions to tests, and the organizational climate of honesty. The
five chapters in section three cover future directions in
preemployment testing, including discussions of tests designed to
predict productivity, turnover, drug use, violence, and accidents.
The final section provides practical information for companies
seeking to implement integrity testing, such as integrating tests
into the selection process and maintaining applicants' privacy
rights. This work will be a useful reference for professionals in
the fields of security management, human resources, and
organizational behavior and for courses in business management, as
well as a valuable addition to both public and academic
libraries.

One of Merthyr's Victorian brickyard girls, Saran watches the world
parade past her doorstep on the banks of the stinking and
rat-infested Morlais Brook: the fair-day revellers; the
chapel-goers and the funeral processions. She never misses a trip
to the town's wooden theatres, despite her life ruled by the 5 a.m.
hooter, pit strikes, politics and the First World War that takes
away so many of her children. Her Glyn will work a treble shift for
beer money; her brother Harry is the district's most notorious
drinker and fighter until he is 'saved'. The town changes and grows
but Saran is still there for Glyn, for Harry, for her children and
grandchildren. In his 1935 novel "Black Parade", writer, soldier
and political activist Jack Jones creates a superbly riotous, clear
and unsentimental picture of Merthyr life as his home town reels
headlong into the twentieth century.
