Sustainable Work and the Environmental Crisis
Compared to 20 years ago, the jobs many people do today are increasingly characterised by low pay and insecurity, while countless others cope with workplace stress and ill-health. At the same time the consequences of our current model of economic activity are creating dangerous and critical changes in the planet’s climate. Until recently debates around these two issues have had little contact with each other. This book demonstrates that there are…

Meaning
The open-plan academy
The introduction of open-plan (OP) academic offices is critically examined through interviews undertaken in Scotland and Australia. The development is discussed in the context of the increased managerialism in higher education. The conclusion is that, despite a rhetoric of synergy, the dominant rationale for OP is one of cost reduction and that the experience for many academics is proving detrimental to both scholarship and professional identity
Brian Towers—An appreciation
Stuck in the middle with who? The class identity of knowledge workers
The coming of the information age has been associated with widespread social transformation and new, or dissolved, class structures. Central to this claim is the emergence of 'knowledge workers' including information technology professionals. While previous discussion has focused on the paradox faced by IT workers as both professionals and employees, this article, using empirical data from five software organizations in Scotland, examines their p…
The Meaning of Work in the New Economy
This book analyzes the multiple levels of meaning which people attach to work today, and the role of work in people's lives. By looking at call centres and software development, the book evaluates som
Getting on or getting by
Recent speculation about the impact on family life of contemporary patterns of work has prompted considerable and concerted social research activity in which the workplace and household have figured prominently. This article extends these studies to examine employment in prototypical new sectors of the economy, namely call centres and software, which at the time of the study were enjoying spectacular growth. Employees in both sectors reported spi…
A Unique Working Environment
This article fills an important gap in our knowledge of call centres by focusing specifically on occupational ill-health. We document the recent emergence of health and safety concerns, assess the responses of employers and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), critique the existing regulatory framework and present a holistic diagnostic model of occupationally induced ill-health. This model is utilized to investigate quantitative and qualitative…
Work technologies and the future of work
Space - the Final Frontier
For too long the built working environment has been excluded from the analysis of work organisations. Buildings, like other cultural artefacts, encapsulate social and economic priorities and values, and represent prevailing power structures. Work buildings, such as offices and factories, both make possible the organisation of the labour process and also serve as structures of non-verbal communication, providing cues on hierarchy, status and appro…
Sick and Tired? Working in the Modern Office
Sick and Tired? - Working in the Modern Office
Sickness and control in the office—the sick building syndrome
Here the authors examine the unions' experience of building‐related sickness among their members and argue that we can no longer treat the built working environment as a neutral factor when analysing the labour process
Drawing the line
Draughtsmen could until recently legitimately be seen as a ‘white‐collar craft’ group. This article examines the degree to which Computer‐Aided Design is fragmenting the cohesiveness of the drawing office, and thus threatening to undermine the craft control which has been the basis of the strength of the union, AUEW/TASS
Strategy note
