Mistreatment in the Workplace: Prevention and Resolution for Managers and Organizations

"In this results-based world, where employers have higher demands and expectations of their workforce, books such as this are a good solid base from which to deliver a realistic approach to address managers' development needs. This book contains good practical examples of workplace mistreatment and is clearly written with case studies and research findings with analytical text, which are very useful for practitioners and in supporting academic work. The structure of the book makes it adaptable as a "quick dip" book for managers looking for best practice solutions, while also having a sound narrative resulting in academic rigor appropriate to research at all levels." (Human Resource Management Journal, January 2011)
