Abstract

Reviews Attitude prediction in labor relations-A test of understanding (1948), by L. M. Libo. The thesis of this monograph is that one first step to good industrial relations is the understanding on the part of labor and management of the points of view of the other party. The extent of this understanding can be measured by comparing for each party its beliefs concerning the attitudes of the other party with the actual views of the other party. The study, then, essentially has two parts-the arguments concerning the major thesis and an illustrative attempt to measure the degree of understanding between labor and management. Although the volume is described as stimulating, it is suggested that the concepts and terminology have not been considered rigorously enough.
