Humanizing the Workplace.
Fairfield, Roy P., Ed.
A series of essays discussing ideas about humanizing work are presented in the document. Three major sections divide the essays, and each includes a preface with comments suggesting the central focus and questions with which the authors are concerned. The first section deals with the history, philosophy, and issues related to work and contains essays by Ivar Berg, George Strauss, Irving Bluestone, Franklin Wallick, Mitchell Fein, Marcus Raskin, Michael Maccoby, Alan Gartner, and Frank Riessman. The second section discusses specific illustrations, both exemplary and incredible, with essays by Robert Schrank, Bennett Kreman, Jack Russell, Myra A. Peabody, J. Davitt McAteer, M. H. Ross, Edward Walsh, and Walter Kleeman, Jr. The third section provides a look into the future, and the authors include Louise Kapp Howe, Stevanne Auerback-Fink, Richard J. Schonberger, Robert Schrank, and Howard B. Radest. The introduction, prefaces, and epilogue are written by Roy P. Fairfield. A list of the contributors is provided and includes biographical notes.
