Katerina Petrova ★★★★★
As a realist, not negativist, by nature combined with work experience I would sat do not get lured by the utopian promise of psychologically safe workplaces. In a world wherever are longer persons but 'human resources' governed by "locust type" corporations and apathetic Unionists show me some examples and I will show you myriads of oases in Sahara.
Elif Yilmaz,BSc.(hons) ★★★★★
As a working woman I would strongly suggest to working women and working men to download and read this book. It delivers a powerful well supported message!
Pat Mcdermott ★★★★★
If you are an employee, a working man or woman, orva manager charged with the supervision of a group of employees do download and read this book! It will help you understand while it is futile to dream of PSW... If you are an employer or a corporate stakeholder reading this book may slightly...upset you as it reveals the profit motive masking itself under the dream of Psychologically Safe Workplaces...
Matt Gross ★★★★★
Reading through the lines I discern a romantic attitude in Professor Piperopoulos' narrative despite his half century experiences in Business Schools where management students learn tonaim for profit maximization techniques! Improved profits benefit corporation stakeholders and assure managers bonuses! It is a book worth reading.
Imran Kahn ★★★★★
In my humble opinion a truly remarkable book which comes to fill in many voids in the history of employer employees relations. Take a close look at the chapter on Unions and the review of Business Schools.
Beskrivelse
The book is a journey through human progress focusing on the construct of psychologically safe workplaces which has re-emerged recently. It looks as far back as the Ancient Egyptians and Greeks, highlighting the construct of utopia as applied to the world of work. It explores where we are in the world of work and how humans are treated at work. It underlines how various advances through industrial, and much more recently technological, revolutions have changed the nature of work and society. It explores if a ‘utopic’ ideal of work has ever existed or can exist. As a monograph, it will engage the readers’ interest with its story and intention.
