Abstract: | A study of works rule books indicates that their purpose, consciously or unconsciously, extends considerably beyond the mere outlining of a disciplinary code. From the management's point of view they fulfil contractual, legal, informative and expressive roles. Moreover the tone of the language in which they are couched and, where subject matter is concerned, some surprising omissions provide an additional insight into management attitudes. |
