Work Is Desirable/Loathsome
Interpreting and predicting the social world requires assumptions about human tendencies. Empirical validation of such premises, however, is not available. They are, essentially, beliefs held by the observer. Most important, perceptions of the sources and types of effective social control hinge on conceptions of human nature. This is awkward for the sociology of work because quite starkly divergent analytical consequences can result. This article…

Perestroika in the USSR and China
Recent leaders of the USSR and China saw the inherited Stalinist blueprint as defective for managing state enterprises. To remedy enterprise inefficiencies, various reforms were begun. Review of the Soviet and Chinese prereform economic designs indicates that the misuse of resources was prompted by unconditional state support of enterprises coupled with guaranteed employment and flawed incentive criteria. Perestroika plans in both countries were …
Workers' Participation
American workers' involvement on the shop floor has benefited from managers' worries about product quality. This concern arose in response to market shares eroded by imports, especially Japanese imports. The small group activities (production teams, quality circles) used in Japan to raise product quality are transportable; they are now well known to U.S. managers and widely considered for adoption. Implementation, nevertheless, is less common. On…

A Note on Organizational Commitment
Studies of organizational commitment have tended to focus on managers within single organizations, or on samples of a single employee category across organizations. On the hunch that an alternative approach might yield different findings, the present study examines organizational commitment, antecedents, and consequences among three distinct groups (administrators, semiskilled-unskilled workers, and faculty) within a single organization, a large …

Accountability and Productivity
Based on a nonobtrusive count of output, productivity in a metal-working shop is examined before implementing individual accountability, during intensified accountability, and after the accountability program was terminated. The data show quite clearly that when individual accountability was introduced, productivity rose steeply and then subsided along with accountability. Some implications of accountability are suggested

Humanism in Organizations
A lthough the appellation human relationist is seldom used today, many contemporary organizational theorists adhere to the tradition established by Elton Mayo1 later popularized by Douglas McGregor.2 Contemporary human relationists are often referred to as organizational humanists, enlightened managers, or industrial democrats. Nevertheless, there remains a definite and pervasive continuity of approach to handling organizational conflict and empl…

The Meaning of Work among the Hard-Core Unemployed
Work and the Welfare Cadillac
Interviews were conducted with 275 chronically unemployed persons to ascertain the extent of their commitment to work and the functions it performed for them. It was found that work was viewed as the legitimate source of sustenance; their commitment to it was as strong as that of employed white-and blue-collar workers who had been investigated in other studies using the same methodological technique. While the economic function of work appeared t…

Career Anchorage
Sociological theories of occupational mobility have incorporated two sets of assumptions about occupational aspiration. One position is that men are oriented toward career-long advancement; another views men as oriented to stabilizing or modestly improving their occupational rank. A career orientation anchorage model of mobility orientations treats different levels of occupational aspiration as outcomes of a single mechanism, suggesting that diff…
