Work Self and Society


Product Description
Despite recent interest in the effects of restructuring and redesigning the work place, the link between individual identity and structural change has usually been asserted rather than demonstrated. Through an extensive review of data from field work in a multi-national corporation Catherine Casey changes this. She knows that changes currently occurring in the world of work are part of the vast social and cultural changes that are challenging the assumptions of modern industrialism. These events affect what people do everyday, and they are altering relations among ourselves and with the physical world. This valuable book is not only a critcal analysis of the transformations occurring in the world of work, but an exploration of the effects of contemporary practices of work on the self.Work Self and Society Review
Based on research, this book draws analyses of the relations between people's experiences of work and the effects of those experiences on the self-psychological processes (their sense of identity), and on the broader social organization. The author zeros-in on how high technology forms of work and organization are affecting the individual's self-perception. This is a lustrously illuminating, scholarly work, intended for those with a keen interest in the self concept and social organization. Includes a good bibliography.
