Rapid developments are taking place within society and organizations. They demand a flexible, responsive, and competent workforce. Demographic shifts and the increasing shortfall of young workers have resulted in increasing demand for the intergenerational workplace. Retaining multicultural workers is practiced in some countries to make use of their rich expertise. Experienced older workers are no longer seen as a burden to the economy. On the contrary, practices such as senior entrepreneurship are also popular. Similarly, while technological development and differences among employees are discussed in leadership issues, diversity is also included. Leadership Perspectives on Effective Intergenerational Communication and Management examines the differences between monocultural workers and intergenerational workers in Western and Eastern companies. It investigates the technological developments such as Industry 4.0 at the societal or industry levels. Covering topics such as intergenerational diversity, organizational interactions, and employee satisfaction, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for business leaders and executives, human resource managers, sociologists, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This revised edition is a comprehensive, authoritative set of essays. It is more detailed and analytical than the mainstream treatments of HRM. As in previous editions, Managing Human Resources analyses HRM, the study of work and employment, using an integrated multi-disciplinary approach. The starting point is a recognition that HRM practice and firm performance are influenced by a variety of institutional arrangements that extend beyond the firm. The consequences of HRM need to incorporate analysis of employees and other stakeholders as well as the implications for organizational performance.

There is a huge elephant in the room: organizational decisions are often based on family relationships, rather than on the ‘rational’ approach advocated by many professionals. Textbooks on Human Resources, Management, Organizational Behavior, Economics, Public Administration, and a host of related areas seem to have entirely missed this important aspect of organizational decision making. This book seeks to change all of this. By clearly identifying and defining nepotism in organizations, this book pulls back the curtain on the primary basis for many of the important things that really happen in organizations, large and small. The authors skillfully weave examples of nepotism in real organizations with the usual scholarly textbook topics (hiring, leadership, employment law, career search, culture, etc.) in a way that defines an entire new field of quantitative organizational research. This new book in SIOP's Organizational Frontiers series represents the first time IO psychologists have looked at the important subject of nepotism in organizations.

Research can face artificial intelligence (AI) as an issue of technology development but also as an issue of enacted technology at work. Human-centered design of AI gives emphasis to the expertise and needs of human beings as a starting point of technology development or as an outcome of AI-based work settings. This is an important goal, as expressed, for example, by the international labor organization's call for a "human-centered agenda" for the future of AI and automation collaboration. This Research Topic raises the question of what human-centricity means, i.e. what are the criteria and indicators of human-centered AI and how can they be considered and implemented?
