Merit Pay: Linking Pay to Performance in a Changing World артикул 1955d.

Book DescriptionThis book was written to bring together a summary of the current knowledge on merit pay and to further advance understanding of this type of incentive pay plan When the writing of the first edition was begun in 1989, there were no books devoted exclusively to the subject of merit pay Thus, this book was written to fill a void in the compensation ожйлп literature Since then, surveys have shown that merit pay remains a frequently used method of incentive compensation, and research into the merit pay process continues to grow However, other forms of incentive pay, such as gainsharing, continue to receive the most attention, as evidenced by the number of books and articles on this topic in the popular press In response to the frequent use of merit pay in organizations and the growing body of research, a book-length treatment of merit pay was needed What we hope to do with this second edition, beyond updating, is to link merit pay with the many changes going on in total compensation or "rewardmanagement" (R Heneman, 2001a, 2002) We also will argue that, even among all the challenges and changes that organizations currently face, there is still "merit" in appropriately conceived and implemented merit pay plans (Bates, 2003c).  2003 г ISBN 1931576467.

The Paradox of American Unionism: Why Americans Like Unions More Than Canadians Do, but Join Much Less артикул 1959d.
The Paradox of American Unionism: Why Americans Like Unions More Than Canadians Do, but Join Much Less артикул 1959d.

Why have Americans, who by a clear majority approve of unions, stopped joining them in greater numbers than ever before? This book answers that question by comparing the American experience with that of Canada, where approval for unions is significantly lower than in the United States, but where since the mid-1960s, workers have joined organized ожйлы labor to a much greater extent Given that the two countries are outwardly so similar, what explains this paradox? This book provides a detailed comparative analysis of both countries using, among other things, a unique survey conducted in the United States and Canada by the Ipsos Reid polling group The authors discover that the reluctance of employees in the United States to join unions, compared with thosein Canada, is rooted less in their attitudes toward unions, and more in the former country's deep-seated tradition of individualism and laissez-faire economic values " Canada has a more statist, social democratic tradition, which is in turn attributable to its Tory and European conservative lineage Canadian values are therefore more supportive of unionism, making unions more powerful in the northern country and paradoxically lowering public approval of unions This is less true in the United States, where unions exert less of an influence over politics and the economy.  ISBN 0801442001.

Just Work артикул 1924d.

This elegant essay on the justice of work focuses on the fit between who we are and the kind of work we do Russell Muirhead shows how the common hope for work that fulfills us involves more than personal interest; it also points to larger understandings of a just society We are defined in part by the jobs we hold, and Muirhead has something important to ожйие say about the partial satisfactions of the working life, and the increasingly urgent need to balance the claims of work against those of family and community Against the tendency to think of work exclusively in contractual terms, Muirhead focuses on the importance of work to our sense of a life well lived Our notions of freedom and fairness are incomplete, he argues, without due consideration of how we fit the work we do Muirhead weaves his argument out of sociological, economic, and philosophical analysis He shows, among other things, how modern feminism's effort to reform domestic work and extend the promise of careers has contributed to more democratic understandings of what it means to have work that fits His account of individual and social fit as twin standards of assessment is original and convincing--it points both to the unavoidable problem of distributing bad work in society and to the personal importance of finding fulfilling work These themes are pursued through a wide-ranging discussion that engages thinkers from Plato to John Stuart Mill to Betty Friedan Just Work shows what it would mean for work to make good on the high promise so often invested in it and suggests what we--both as a society and as individuals--might do when it falls short.  2007 г Мягкая обложка, 224 стр ISBN 0674024087.

A Woman's Place is based upon Elizabeth Roberts's interviews with 160 elderly people from the towns of Barrow, Lancaster and Preston They recall their memories of family life as children, youths and adults in the period between the last decade of the nineteenth century and the outbreak of the Second World War A Woman's Place shows working-class ожйкэ women to be conscious of, and secure in, the separate, private sphere of home and family, with little feeling of male oppression, but more of class oppression and economic injustice to man and woman alike A woman's key place within the family as budget manager and domestic decision taker was widely recognized It was, however, a position won at great cost The hazards of childbirth, the grueling physical routines of washing, cleaning and cooking, the necessity of undertaking part-time, or (in Preston especially) full-time paid employment to boost the family's meager income, were the coin with which that role was bought This hard female experience from childhood to motherhood is carefully and sensitively recorded, and the oral evidence supported and elucidated by documentary material from a wide range of local and national sources Elizabeth Roberts's classic work in the oral history of the family is now reissued to coincide with the publication of Women and Families to which it is a direct prequel Taken together the two books provide an unrivaled picture of almost a century of social change.  ISBN 0631147543.

Research by economists and economic historians has greatly expanded our knowledge of labor markets and real wages in the United States since the Civil War, but the period from 1820 to 1860 has been far less studied Robert Margo fills this gap by collecting and analyzing the payroll records of civilians hired by the United States Army and the 1850 and ожйлш 1860 manuscript federal Censuses of Social Statistics New wage series are constructed for three occupational groups--common laborers, artisans, and white-collar workers--in each of the four major census regions--Northeast, Midwest, South Atlantic, and South Central--over the period 1820 to 1860, and also for California between 1847 and 1860 Margo uses these data, along with previously collected evidence on prices, to explore a variety of issues central to antebellum economic development This volume makes a significant contribution to economic history by presenting a vast amount of previously unexamined data to advance the understanding of the history of wages and labor markets in the antebellum economy.  ISBN 0226505073.
