| Abstract: | The subject of industrial conflict is so broad that one would hope for its treatment to be lengthy, interdisciplinary, and to encompass many specific topics and viewpoints. As such, this book, written under the sponsorship of SPSSI, meets all one's expectations. It sets out with the ambitious purposes of analyzing the determining factors and conditions which give rise to industrial conflict and of assessing various efforts of solution. The book is divided into five main parts: (a) basic issues concerning industrial conflict; (b) roots of industrial conflict (motivational analysis, organization and leadership of groups in conflict, social and economic influences); (c) dealing with industrial conflict (accommodating to conflict, efforts to remove sources of conflict, social control of industrial conflict); (d) industrial conflict in other societies, and (e) Industrial conflict, present and future. Thirty-nine different authors, including academicians, writers, labor leaders, and industrial representatives, have contributed to the book's forty chapters.
