Through exploring strategy, technology, teamwork and...

This book discusses social psychological research in organizations and illustrates the implications of this research for organizational theory and practice. The book focuses on the relationship of man to the organization in which he works; his sense of satisfaction, involvement, feelings of identification or loyalty, conflicts, and tensions - as well as his effort in support of, or opposition to, the formally defined goals of the organization.

Tyler examines employee cooperation in work organizations, resident cooperation with legal authorities responsible for social order in...
