Research and Markets yesterday released a new book called Ethics, Psyche and Social Responsibility. The book explores the employer/employee dynamic and how elements such as the company’s social responsibility impacts that relationship. From the release:

“This important book considers the psychological aspects of organizational life, particularly in the context of firms’ ethical behaviour and its implications for corporate social responsibility. The authors consider the effects of corporate activity and change on individuals, not just in their working lives, but also in their family and social lives. They address a diverse number of topics from a variety of theoretical standpoints in an ongoing attempt to redress this neglected field of research.”

The topic certainly sounds interesting, though I have not had a chance to read or otherwise preview the text. At roughly $99 for the hard cover, I think graduate school courses may be the book’s primary market.
