    New World of Work
    Challenges and Opportunities
    First edition
    Edited by CARY COOPER, UMIST

    RONALD BURKE, York University


    This companion volume looks at the changing conditions of work and the
    challenges these pose for workers. Containing fourteen chapters by a
    well-known team of contributors from North America and Europe, the text
    provides a powerful combination of up-to-date research and practice. The
    issues covered are highly topical, including work-family concerns,
    teleworking, outsourcing and flexible work hours, but are also areas of
    ongoing concern for both workers and organizations. Contributors include
    Douglas T. Hall (Boston University); Edward E. Lawler III (University of
    Southern California); Daniel C. Feldman (University of South Carolina);
    Romila Singh (Drexel University); Wayne F. Cascio (University of Denver
    at Colorado); Mary Dean Lee (McGill University); etc.
