Sorting Letters, Sorting Lives - Delivering Diversity in the United States Postal Service

Benbow Klappentext Linda Benbow examines the organizational culture and various levels of diversity found in an urban United States Postal Service mail processing facility. She shows how employee perceptions of social differences and their interactions with coworkers contributes to their identity and work life within the organization.
