Employment and Employee Rights

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Of interest to anyone who wishes to understand more about employee rights and the revolutionizing of employment models, Employment and Employee Rights addresses the issue of rights in the workplace from the perspective of both employees and employers. In the process of exploring arguments for guaranteeing rights, the book examines the relational, developmental, and economic bases upon which they are founded. New dimensions of employment are also considered, including a model that incorporates growing workplace diversity, builds upon our understanding of the legal landscape, and expands upon our justifications for recognizing and protecting rights. Employment and Employee Rights defends employee rights as economic value added for employers and companies, and it suggests a model where employees engage in meaningful work, maintain their autonomy, and exercise a level of control over their employment.

Rezensionen

"The authors challenge us to re-examine our understandings ofemployment. They bring a broad historical awareness to theirdistinctive theoretical reflections on topics such as due process,job insecurity, meaningful work, and the changing nature ofemployment. Readers with a practical bent should be convinced bytheir analysis of progressive employment practices as'economic value added.' For the more philosophicallyinclined, they provide, at the outset, a clear and thoughtfulanalysis of the foundations of moral rights - an unusualelement in texts on business ethics." John McCall, SaintJoseph's University

Every managerwill benefit from reading it. Every human resources manager simplymust read it." R. Edward Freeman, University of Virginia
