The Foreman (Rle: Organizations)

The book presents a systems perspective on the role of the foreman, challenging the traditional view of this position as merely a filter in the command chain. It analyzes the foreman's interactions within three sub-systems: the organization, the group, and the individual. Drawing on multidisciplinary research, the author employs a sociological framework to explore the unique strains, conflicts, and ambiguities that characterize the foreman's responsibilities, offering a deeper understanding of this crucial role in industrial settings.
