Co-editors Crossman and Bordia have assembled a rich collection of chapters detailing foundation approaches for studying the individual employee’s voice up to the larger institution’s collective stories. This reference by international contributors is an ideal companion for qualitative and mixed methods researchers in business, organization, management, and the psychology and sociology of work.’
