Papers on the first of these were published as Working Across the Gap (catalogue number 20169). This volume brings together papers covering the second theme, the meaning and organization of work. After a historical introduction, the book has five sections: Making the case; Two pieces of research, separated by forty years; Five examples of action research and consultancy activities on work organization; Working with other professions that influence the design of jobs; Reflections on the implications for institutions and policy."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aWork 606 $aFacility management 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aWork environment$xDesign 615 0$aWork. 615 0$aFacility management. 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aWork environment$xDesign. 676 $a306.36 676 $a331 700 $aKlein$b Lisl$01788862 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953143003321 996 $aThe meaning of work$94324122 997 $aUNINA
