Förlagets beskrivning
During the last two decades there have been profound changes in the
organization of work. Myths at Work explores these changes, critically
examining and challenging some of the central frameworks that have been used to
explain them. Global economic restructuring has brought about changes in the jobs we do,
our labour market opportunities, and the shape of our individual career paths.
These changes have been explained through a number of potent 'myths' (in the
sense of widely-held bodies of ideas) including globalization, post-fordist
production methods, and a new consumer-based form of capitalism. The authors
examine these myths, explain how they have come about, and question their
accuracy. While doing so they provide a more accurate picture of employment and
the modern workplace. They also look at the 'myths' of the feminisation of the
labour force, the skills revolution, lean production, non-standard employment,
the death of class, the end of trade unionism, and the 'economic worker'. The result is an illuminating and accessible teaching and research text
that will appeal to students and academics in the sociology of work,
organizational behaviour, business studies, and related areas. Since the 1980s there have been profound changes in the organization of
work. This book explores these changes, critically examining and challenging
some of the central frameworks that have been used to explain them.
