Edward E. Lawler III

Through his breakthrough approach to organizing and managing complex organizations, Edward Lawler - the leading authority in organization effectiveness and design - shows how today's top companies are replacing quick-fix, single dimension techniques of reengineering, TQM, and team building with a complete from-the-bottom-up overhaul for total organizational transformation. From the Ground Up offers a stimulating look at the foundations upon which the effective organization should be built - from how people are paid and careers are managed to how work is designed and organizations are structured.

"This major new book examines the way in which employment is managed across organizational boundaries. It analyses how public-private partnerships, franchises, agencies, and other forms of inter-firm contractual relations impact on work and employment and the experiences of those working in these increasingly significant forms of organization. Drawing upon research undertaken in eight separate networks comprising over 50 organizations it explores the fragmenting effects of contemporary changes in the organization of work and employment relationships." "The findings of this book raise questions about the governance of such complex organizational forms, the appropriateness of current institutions for addressing this complexity, and the challenge of harnessing employee commitment in circumstances where human resource practices are shaped by organizations other than the legal employer." "Fragmenting Work will be vital reading for all those wishing to understand the contemporary realities of work and employment."--Jacket.
