| Summary |
"This book shows how one large human service organisation systematically investigated the occupational strain and efficacy of its workforce, leading to a rational intervention plan which was broadly supported by management and workers alike. It is an essential text for those involved in the development of human service policy and the management of social workers, counsellors, youth workers, and psychologists. Human service practitioners and those interested in organisational development and in the engineering of a human service work environment, that is both healthy and productive, will also find the book of value."--BOOK JACKET |
