Extent: xiv, 226 p. : ill. ; 21 cm.
Description: Employees often disagree with workplace policies and practices, leaving few workplaces unaffected by organizational dissent. While disagreement persists in most contemporary organizations, how employees express dissent at work and how their respective organizations respond to it vary widely. Through the use of case studies, first-person accounts, current examples, conceptual models, and scholarly findings, this work offers a comprehensive treatment of organizational dissent. It situates dissent as an everyday occurrence rather than something unusual. Each chapter ends with discussion questions.
Why is organizational dissent relevant? -- What is organizational dissent? -- How do we make sense of organizational dissent? -- What triggers organizational dissent? -- How do employees express dissent? -- Upward dissent anyone? -- Can organizational dissent be managed well?
