Stephen Edgell's book charts the rise of 'work' and explores all aspects of work including paid and unpaid, standard and non-standard and unemployment. New material has been incorporated covering the theories and practices of globalization, interactive service work, economic crisis, technological and organizational change, and trade unions. Drawing on classic and contemporary theorists, the book:
*Covers key issues regarding paid industrial and service sector work: alienation, skill, post-industrial society, network enterprises,
flexibility, Fordism, neo-Fordism, post-Fordism, McDonaldization, emotional labour, destandardization and the social impact of
unemployment.
*Discusses key issues regarding non-paid work: domestic work as 'work', the impact of technology, symmetrical family thesis, the
impact of feminism, and globalization.
*Provides student friendly pedagogy: suggestions for further reading, questions for discussion and assessment, an extensive
glossary and links to key websites and downloadable articles.
This latest edition will be welcomed by lecturers and students wanting an authoritative guide to the sociology of work.
