The Future of Bureaucracy and Hierarchy in Organizational Theory
A principal tenet of modern social and economic theory has long been that a large proportion of the production and distribution of goods and services takes place through formal organizations constituted for this purpose and that these formal organizations are characterized by bureaucracy and hierarchy. In the modem bureaucratic-hierarchical organization, level or status became the basis for compensation as well as authority, and the sets of statu…
Types and Positions
This article aims to make a case for using Georg Simmel's ideas to illuminate features of organizational life that connect individuals, groups, organizations, and society. It first summarizes three related aspects of Simmel's approach to social action that are relevant to organizational research: his method of using ‘pure types’ for describing social roles; positions for locating social actors in relation to each other; and structure for describi…

The Challenge of Organizational Change
The Challenge of Organizational Change
In this book, the authors present case studies of organizational at leading companies. Essays by the authors introduce each section and look at the cases as instructive models for how to institute in the corporation - or in some situations - how not to. In the first section, on emergent studies of Apple Computer, Sears and Bendix, among others, illustrate environmental and cyclical change. The second section on forced change draws on the examples…

A Perceptive Sociological Treatment and a Book that Blames the Victim
Families, Family Processes, and Economic Life
Disciplinary boundaries are often drawn and maintained so that professional territory can be protected; this is a generally deplorable mode of scholarship. Yet, as I approached the problem of producing a commentary useful for social historians, I found myself asking the question: What is left for a sociologist to contribute as a sociologist? The historians represented in this volume (and the one sociologist, Furstenberg, who has temporarily joine…

Some Effects of Proportions on Group Life
Proportions, that is, relative numbers of socially and culturally different people in a group, are seen as critical in shaping interaction dinamics, and four group types are identified in the basis of varying proportional compositions. "Skewed" groups contain a large preponderance of one type (the numerical "dominants") over another (the rare "tokens"). A framework is developed for conceptualizing the processes that occur between dominants and to…

Couple Strains in Communal Households
A four‐factor model is proposed for understanding the separation process of couples living in urban communes. The factors influencing separation are considered to be contextual conduciveness, systemic strain, generalized beliefs, and precipitating events. Case studies of separating couples who were members of a larger sample living in communal households are presented to illustrate ways in which couples exhibited each of the above factors. Separa…
The Impact of Hierarchical Structures on the Work Behavior of Women and Men
This paper makes the case for an absence of sex differences in work behavior, arguing instead that work attitudes and work behavior are a function of location in organizational structures. The structures of opportunity (e. g., mobility prospects) and power (e. g., influence upward), along with the proportional representation of a person's social type, define and shape the ways that organization members respond to their jobs and to each other. In …
The Differentiation of Life-Styles
The term intersectionality references the critical insight that race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nation, ability, and age operate not as unitary, mutually exclusive entities, but rather as reciprocally constructing phenomena. Despite this ...Read More

Commitment and Social Organization
This paper defines commitment and proposes three types, continuance, cohesion, and control commitment, which bind personality systems to areas of social systems, linking cognitive, cathectic, and evaluative orientations to roles, relationships, and norms, respectively. Two processes underlie the development of each of the three types of commitment: sacrifice and investment support continuance; renunciation and communion support cohesion; and mort…

Symbolic Interactionism and Politics in Systemic Perspective
Men and Women of the Corporation
Coupling, Parenting, and the Presence of Others
This paper considers the nature of couple and parent-child relationships when family space is public rather than private, and others are present as audiences, claimants on the intimate territory, and sources of alternative ties. Research on 35 urban communal households found an initial shift in the locus of social control when intimate relationships are conducted in the presence of others. Couples experience pressures toward individuation, autono…
Commitment and the Internal Organization of Millennial Movements
The Organization Child
This paper proposes a relationship between the structure of education and the major institutional forms of a society. It posits that in a society characterized by a predominance of bureaucratic organizations the criteria for health and maturity in a popular psychological perspective (neo-Freudian ideology) may correspond with the demands of bureaucracy; that the practices of one nursery school in implementing this ideology create bureaucracy-like…
Symbolic Interactionism
This is a collection of articles dealing with the point of view of symbolic interactionism and with the topic of methodology in the discipline of sociology. It is written by the leading figure in the school of symbolic interactionism, and presents what might be regarded as the most authoritative statement of its point of view, outlining its fundamental premises and sketching their implications for sociological study. Blumer states that symbolic i…

Utopian Communities
Utopian communities-an alternative community form-vary from large, comprehensive settlements in which most aspects of life are collectively organized to small informal households low on comprehensiveness and collectivization, like many contemporary communes. The initial stages, organizational problems, politics, and economic organization of both highly-structured large communes and minimally-structured small communes are discussed

Commitment and Community
Getting it all together
Many distinctive social and cultural features of communes are the outcome of processes addressing the issue of creating a family-like group out of a gathering of individuals. Today's communes are viewed in the light of the practices of successful communes of the past, and solutions to several major group development problems are discussed
