In this account of the social factors that affect our experience of work, the author traces the biological and historical origins of work. He then goes on to compare alternative contemporary forms of work organization, for example, those in Japan, Israel and Yugoslavia, and analyzes the role of technology, social organization and personality differences, taking into account the effect of these variables on theories of motivation, leadership, training in social skills and techniques of personnel selection. Michael Argyle has written "The Psychology of Interpersonal Behaviour".
