Sociology, Work and Organisation: Seventh Edition
Autor Tony Watsonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 mar 2017
Intellectual and accessible, it is unrivalled in the breadth of its coverage and its authoritative overview of both traditional and emergent themes in the sociological study of work and organisation. The direction and implications of trends in technological change are fully considered and the book recognises the extent to which these trends are intimately related to changing patterns of inequality in modern societies and to the changing experiences of individuals and families. Key features of the text are:
- clear structure;
- ‘key issue’ guides and summaries with each chapter;
- identification of key concepts throughout the book;
- unrivalled glossary and concept guide;
- rich illustrative snapshots or ‘mini cases’ throughout the book.

Recenzii
‘This nicely crafted textbook by one of the leading and most experienced scholars of sociology of work and organisations provides an excellent coverage of the entire field, combining a historical perspective, with a strong awareness of contemporary developments in working life and theory.’ – Mats Alvesson, Lund University, Sweden
‘Sociology, Work and Organisation is written to engage its readers and to advance our understanding of the sociology of work. This fully updated version improves on an already excellent introductory text.’ – Darren McCabe, Lancaster University, UK
‘As a young researcher exploring shop floor dynamics in the early 1980s, the first edition of this great book was an invaluable source of ideas. In the intervening years, Tony Watson has continued to update his analysis of the multi-facetted, changing and contradictory nature of work and organisations. With its greater emphasis on organisational dynamics, this excellent new edition provides a lucid overview of the field. As an introductory text, this book is very hard to beat, and I can thoroughly recommend it.’ – David Collinson, University of Lancaster, UK

Descriere
Sociology, Work and Organisation deftly combines discussion of the theories and methods of sociology with consideration of an outstanding range of substantive issues relevant to contemporary work contexts and environments. The new edition boasts stronger coverage of historical and contemporary changes to, and patterns of, work organisation; a sharper focus on inequality; and a clearer narrative line culminating in a new final chapter. With its wealth of pedagogic features, crystal-clear prose and intellectual rigour, this brilliant textbook is ideally suited for teaching and study.
