From the reviews:

“Contributing to the literature on quality of work life, this volume examines ethical dilemmas resulting from conflicts at work. … Although a wide variety of topics is covered in this volume, readers can explore each in depth because chapters often provide strong literature reviews based on relatively recent scholarly research as well as suggestions for future research, long lists of references, and concluding comments. … Summing Up: Recommended. Business practitioners and academic researchers, upper-division undergraduates and up.” (G. E. Kaupins, Choice, Vol. 50 (5), January, 2013)
