This comprehensive and enlightening book deepens organizations’ understanding of work in the 21st Century through the “lens” of psychological relationships in organizations. The volume outlines how the workplace has changed significantly due to shifting environmental conditions “in a turbulent world,” such as the advent of cyber entities, mass migration, globalization, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the fluctuations in how work is done, the structure of organizations, and workforce characteristics, led to changes in the psychological relationships in the workplace.
The challenges should not be overstated. Nevertheless, the book discusses in detail how these developments affect current and future psychological relationships at work, especially in developed countries. The debate presented in this book is based on profound and groundbreaking thinking, sometimes critical.
The author, Dr. Edna Rabenu, has extensive proficiency in theoretical research and in-depth knowledge of the field. Readers will be enriched by the book’s frank and structured coverage of a wealth of subject matter and the many timely suggestions on how organizations might best respond to the new developments.
The book is a must-read for management, HR personnel, and industrial/organizational psychologists, and, indeed, for anyone who has the interest of excellence in executive leadership at heart.
