What Kind of Jobs?

Rosemary Stewart

Chapter 2 in The Reality of Organizations, 1993, pp 19-28 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Many managers find it easier to think about personalities than about jobs, to think about the way in which Mary does, or fails to do, her work, than to think about the kind of job that Mary is being asked to do. Managers must think about personalities, but they also need to think about jobs and about the demands that these jobs make on people. This means thinking both about the nature of the work that has to be done and about how this work can best be allocated.
