Description
Exploring the changing nature of work and its impact on employment, Myths at Work critically examines widely-held ideas about globalization, post-fordist production methods, and consumer-based capitalism. The authors challenge these 'myths' to provide a more accurate picture of the modern workplace. The book delves into various labour market trends, including the feminisation of the workforce, the skills revolution, lean production, non-standard employment, and the concept of the 'economic worker'. By questioning the accuracy of these myths, the authors offer insights into the complexities of contemporary work. This accessible teaching and research text is suitable for students and academics in sociology of work, organizational behaviour, business studies, and related fields.
