| Synopsis: |
Psychologists have long been active in investigating concepts central to the Protestant Work Ethic (PWE). The topic is crucial to such areas as occupational, industrial and social psychology. Here for the first time such research findings are brought together to provide a comprehensive and explicitly psychological account of the PWE. In examining what PWE beliefs are, who acquires them, and when, Adrian Furnham offers insight into the effects of PWE in the work place today, as well as its future in a changing world. The book goes on to address wider issues such as the role of the work ethic in economic development and the importance of work values when related to non-work activities. |
