With the goal of identifying where industrial psychology can influence corporate payment practices, this book also asks how the larger labor market–and ultimately the corporate bottom line–has been impacted by a business world where temporary employees without benefits toil alongside the permanent; top executives are earning exponentially higher salaries relative to other workers; and technology is being substituted for workers.
