Sociology of Work

Description:

"The Sociology of Work examines the nature of work in its more traditional guises as industrial sociology and the labour process, and in the wider context of unpaid labour. The book emphasizes the links between social processes and the institutions of employment and their domestic and social contexts. The significance of race, gender and class is fully explored, as well as changes in organizational structure and the significance of new technology. In addition, the book has been fully redesigned, and contains a number of new student features to interest and guide the reader as well as an attractive and clear lay-out." "This book will be indispensable for students and teachers of the sociology of work, industrial sociology, organizational behaviour and industrial relations."--Jacket.
