Psychoanalysis and Human Resource Management - A Depth Analysis

Since the 1980s, Human Resource Management (HRM) has risen to prominence as a highly influential area of practice and scholarship, yet critical examinations remain rare. This book applies psychoanalytic ideas to challenge HRM’s core theories and practices, exposing the dark side of organizational life and human motivation. By engaging with a broad range of psychoanalytic thinkers and theories, the book disrupts established perspectives and offers fresh insights into the field. Essential reading for scholars and practitioners, it reconfigures HRM as both an intellectual field and a site of organizational practice, offering a novel means of reshaping the ways in which we understand the subject.
