Description
Relational Inequalities: An Organizational Approach explores how organizations generate and distribute resources, and how this process produces inequalities in access to respect, resources, and rewards. The authors, Donald Tomaskovic-Devey and Dustin Avent-Holt, develop a general sociological and organizational analysis of inequality, examining the processes that create status hierarchies, exploit resources, and maintain social closure. Through a range of case studies, they focus on the workplace as a primary site for generating inequality, offering a framework to advance comparative organizational research and challenge troubling inequalities.
