Effective Human Relations in Organizations

by Barry L. Reece

The Eighth Edition relies on the Total Person approach to prepare students for the workplace by highlighting disparate factors such as phsycial fitness, self-awareness, emotional control, integrity, and values orientation.

Updated pedagogical aids feature opening vignettes Total Person Insights that offer quotes from respected writers, educators, and business leaders; and Thinking/Learning Starters that prompt students to make the text personally relevant. Also, learning objectives and review questions allow students to track their progress, while Application exercises suggest hands-on assignments and end-of-chapter cases provide role-playing scenarios.

Expanded coverage of technology-related issues and the Information Age. Human Relations in Action boxed inserts present a mix of how to tips, examples from real-world organizations, and articles. The text looks at diversity in the workplace as a broad concept encompassing more than just race, ethnicity, and nationality such as age, income level, education, and different styles of communication.
