At the same time the consequences of our current model of economic activity are creating dangerous and critical changes in the planet's climate. Until recently debates around these two issues have had little contact with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book demonstrates that there are definite and complex connections between degraded jobs and a degraded environment, that neither the dominant economic model nor the rate at which we exploit the planet's resources are sustainable and that the limits for both may be reached sooner rather than later. By bringing together insights from critical thinkers in a range of disciplines, the book discusses the requirements and characteristics for work to be at the same time economically, socially and environmentally sustainable and examines the potential for alternative routes to sustainable work in policies and actions that support both the natural environment and worker well-being. \u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students in the fields of HRM, labour studies, employment relations, sociology, environmental studies and sustainability. It is particularly relevant for those focusing on the link between labour and climate change. It is also highly relevant to policymakers, trade unions and NGOs looking at decent work and sustainability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChris Baldry\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus in the Stirling Management School, University of Stirling and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJeff Hyman is Professor Emeritus of Employment Relations at the University of Aberdeen and Honorary Professor of Management at the University of St Andrews. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 278\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 09, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42123218092167,"sku":"9781032033402","price":93.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/dd444e78143df56837c12af1d6d3b533.webp?v=1732565063","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/sustainable-work-and-the-environmental-crisis-the-link-between-labour-and-climate-change-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
