Kusnet, D. (2008).  Love the work, hate the job: why America's best workers are unhappier than ever.
"In his 1956 bestseller The Organization Man1, the business journalist William Whyte described the technicians, the professionals, and the middle managers who worked for large organizations, sacrificing their individuality and often their integrity to become team players. Anything that made people stand out, even excessive competence and creativity, was discouraged." (p. 51)
