Jeffrey Pfeffer’s Dying for a Paycheck: How Modern Management Harms Employee Health and Company Performance—and What We Can Do About It is a research-based business and workplace-health critique published in 2018. Drawing on organizational-behavior research, public-health evidence, and corporate examples, Pfeffer argues that many familiar management practices inflict preventable physical and psychological harm on workers. Long hours, insecure employment, weak autonomy, work-family conflict, layoffs, and inadequate benefits are presented not as unavoidable costs of competition, but as choices that often undermine the firms making them. The book’s central purpose is therefore twofold: to make the human costs of contemporary work visible and to challenge the assumption that employee well-being conflicts with financial performance. Pfeffer frames the alternative as “human sustainability”: organizations should preserve employees’ capacity to remain healthy, productive, and engaged over time. Addressed to managers, employees, and policymakers, the book combines a moral argument about the conditions of work with an economic argument about turnover, health costs, engagement, and organizational effectiveness.
