Editorial Reviews

Review

"Highly recommAnded for the theorist, the empirical investigator, and the student in occupational behavioral science. It is the best treatise on this topic that this reviewer has seen."

"A comprehensive and critical summary of the morass of studies about why people work." --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Product Description

Why do people choose the careers they do? What factors cause people to be satisfied with their work? No single work did more to make concepts like motive, goal incentive, and attitude part of the workplace vocabulary.

This landmark work, originally published in 1964, integrates the work of hundreds of researchers in individual workplace behavior to explain choice of work, job satisfaction, and job performance. Includes an extensive new introduction that highlights and updates his model for current organization behavior educators and students, as well as professionals who must extract the highest levels of productivity from today's downsized workforces.

--This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding, September 16, 2008

By	D. Tripp "WaterDude" (Monrovia, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Work and Motivation (Jossey Bass Business and Management Series) (Paperback)

I included this in the literature review portion of my research project on retention and turnover. I enjoyed it so much after borrowing from the library and reading it that I had to have a copy for myself. Vroom does have some valid criticism of Herzberg's conclusions regarding hygiene versus motivation and the two-factor theory, but some is unfounded and even in err. But, in general, this is an outstanding treatment on work and motivation. A classic!
