Gossip, Organization and Work

The premise of this book is that research into gossip, organization, and work is an important idea whose time has come. A key feature of the book is the inclusion of 'practice points' showing how - and where - theory and/or research intersect with practice, and vice versa.

Kathryn Waddington is reader in work and organisational psychology at the University of Westminster, UK.
