Designed as an introduction to industrial psychology, this work ties the findings and theories of individual and social psychology, human relations, and group dynamics to the behavior of executives and other members of large organizations. Such aspects and concerns as personality, leadership roles and styles, conformity, productivity, differing forms of organization, and the behavior of managing directors and department managers, are discussed. Applications are made to executive recruitment and selection, sensitivity training, communication processes, handling of conflict (including industrial relations and strikes), and the techniques and processes of management education. Finally, apparent trends in organizational values and patterns are assessed. The document includes background reading, tables and figures, chapter glossaries, a bibliography, and indexes. (ly)
