Summary
This important volume considers the psychological aspects of organizational life, particularly in the context of firms' ethical behaviour and its implications for corporate social responsibility. The authors consider the effects of corporate activity and change on individuals, not just in their working lives, but also in their family and social lives.
Excerpts
The Disabling State of an Active Society is based on a detailed ethnographic study of the highly praised Swedish rehabilitation organization Samhall, one of Scandinavia's largest corporations. Based on his empirical findings, Holmqvist makes controversial claims about the effects of activation programmes on their participants. The result is a key volume for those working and studying within welfare, poverty, disability and special needs.
