In any work situation resentment towards the management, poor working attitudes
and low labour productivity continue to be the main obstacles towards economic
progress and social well-being.
Using Jamiaca as his case study, Kenneth
Carter asks why workers are behaving in this way, what can be done to improve
the situation and who is the most qualified to provide the answers. It provides
an insight into why workers dissatisfaction has reached such endemic proportions
not only in the Caribbean but also in the rest of the "working" world.
