The Development of the Concept of Mutual Perception of Persons in a Hierarchy : The Dynamics of Perceptions

The work develops the concept of mutual perception of persons holding positions in a hierarchy engaged in (some) operational activities. The potential dynamics of the social and personal aspects of perceptions are investigated.
