Why do people choose the careers they do? What factors cause people to be satisfied with their work? What influences human performance? Concepts of worker and workplace motivation are now widely accepted as playing a significant role in most efforts to analyze and explain behavior at work. No single book has done more to make concepts like motive, goal incentive, and attitude part of the workplace vocabulary than Victor H. Vroom's Work and Motivation. This landmark book, originally published in 1964, integrates the work of hundreds of researchers seeking to explain choice of work, job satisfaction, and job performance. In this classic paperback edition, the author includes an extensive new introduction that highlights and updates his model for educators and students of current organization behavior, as well as for professionals who must extract the highest levels of productivity from today's "downsized" workforces.
