Making the Best of a Bad Job? Female Part‐Timers’ Orientations and Attitudes to Work
This article uses data from 50 qualitative interviews with female part‐time workers in low‐level jobs in Britain to illustrate their attitudes, orientations and aspirations towards paid work. The research reports two main findings. Firstly, even female part‐time workers at the bottom end of the occupational structure are not a homogeneous group of workers. Secondly, they are not all highly satisfied with their jobs. The article argues that many w…
The shifting locations of work
Purpose - Examines the places where people work in the UK, pointing out that new technologies, such as mobile phones and laptop computers have made it possible to work in far more places than before. \n \nDesign/methodology/approach - Uses official statistics, such as the Labour Force Survey, the Change in Employer Practices Survey and the Location of Work Survey to analyse where people work and how this is changing. \n \nFindings - Concludes tha…

However, some of the most disadvantaged in society are found among those who actually do most …

This paper examines these claims by analysing data from the Labour Force Survey which has, at various times, asked questions about the location of work. Seven key hypotheses are identified, including issues surrounding the extent and growth of working at home, reliance on information and…

In recent years there has been widespread discussion concerning the purported shift away from Taylorism towards a new production paradigm premised upon techniques of high performance management (HPM). This paper argues that in seeking to capture the essence of the phenomenon commentators typically privilege different aspects of the management function. For example, some emphasise the importance of task formulation while others focus heavily on th…
