Enthusiastic Employee: How Companies Profit by Giving Workers What They Want

HR Magazine, July, 2005

Most people are enthusiastic when they're hired--hopeful, ready to work hard and eager to contribute--until management happens. The Three-Factor Theory summarizes what employees want most: to be treated fairly; to feel proud of their work and organizations; and to experience camaraderie. With new case studies and employee attitude research, this book details exactly how to create an environment where enthusiasm flourishes and business grows. David Sirota, Louis A. Mischkind and Michael Irwin Meltzer (400 pp., hardcover, 2005)
