Here is a perspective from the Harvard
Business School's Working Knowledge web site:
"... author Ron Elsdon argues
that after the storm of the late 1990s we need to focus on building
meaningful relationships between individuals and organizations. He contends
that spiraling attrition rates contributed to the loss of a sense of
community on the job. Elsdon describes the “central dilemma” faced by
leaders and HR departments as the tricky prospect of balancing and blending
the needs of the individual with the needs of the organization.
Incorporating real-life case examples with an appropriate amount of
theoretical and empirical research, Affiliation in the Workplace offers
concrete and inspiring suggestions for enhancing connections between the
individual and the organization."
