Opis

Although sociologists have written extensively on the broad subject of occupational careers, generally they have referred only incidentally to organizational careers within work organizations. In this pioneering sourcebook, now considered a classic, Glaser gathered from the literature of occupational sociology those studies that bear most directly on organizational careers. His objective was to provide the fi rst survey of the substantial body of data on the subject and to place this data in a framework that illustrates its signifi cance for the development of theory.
