- Title
Supervision in the British West Indies: Source of Labor Unrest.
- Authors
Knowles, William H.
- Abstract
Among the factors producing economic and political unrest in the underdeveloped, or "backward," areas of the world, a particularly potent force, according to the author of this article, is the effect of archaic and inefficient supervisory practices on the outlook of native workers toward society. Not only do these outmoded practices contribute to social unrest, but they also inhibit the expansion of output essential to raising the extremely low levels of living in these areas. Development of supervisory training programs in underdeveloped areas, through the technical assistance program and foreign subsidiaries of American firms, is urged as a needed device in fostering economic development.
