Men and Their Work

The author emphasizes his conviction that a man's work is a clue to the course of his life, to his social being and identity; that his work influences his social outlooks and attitudes. These thirteen papers are concerned with the social/psychological rather than the organizational aspects of work, with the professional and would-be professional rather than the industrial and bureaucratic occupations. They discuss the ideas which grew out of Professor Hughes' studies on the organization of work and the nature of work experience.Everett C. Hughes is the author of 'Men and Their Work', published 1981 under ISBN 9780313227912 and ISBN 0313227918.
