Too often authors writing on the 'new workplace' havedrifted away from assessing the data to actively promoting aparticular form of work organization. These authors recognize thatthe increased flexibility and deregulation that allows some newforms of work behaviour might also sever the bonds of employmentsecurity - as a result individuals stand to gain or lose.This book will have a substantial impact on my own thinking aboutthe changing nature of work. --Kevin Kelloway, Professor of Management,St. Mary's University, Canada The post-recession world will mean that there will be fewerpeople doing more work, with the demands of new technology andglobal competition adversely affecting their work and privatelives. This book attempts to identify the fundamental drivers ofchange, the issues that workers at all levels will have to face andhow we should re-structure our organizations and working lives toconfront these challenges. I congratulate the authors for theirimportant contribution not only to the literature but also to thehealth and wellbeing of the workers of the world. --Cary l. Cooper CBE, Distinguished Professorof Organizational Psychology and Health, Lancaster UniversityManagement School, UK
