Life Course Patterns of National Associations
This article draws on the preceding seven histories of national associations to examine commonalities and differences among them. The histories portray different strategies of organizing associations and adapting themselves to state control, societal conditions and members' interests. A disciplinary model was the most prevalent organizing strategy, but its viability ebbed and flowed with political oppression, the state of sociology as a disciplin…
Department and Discipline: Chicago Sociology at One Hundred
In this history of the Chicago School of Sociology, Andrew Abbott investigates central topics in the emergence of modern scholarship, paying special attention to of science and how such schools reproduce themselves over time. What are the preconditions from which schools arise? Do they exist as rigid rules or as flexible structures? How do they emerge from the day-to-day activities of academic life such as editing journals and writing papers? Abb…
Historical Patterns of Workplace Organization: From Mechanical to Electronic Control and Beyond
This article examines social changes in the organization of work brought about by the shift from mechanical to electronic technology. Whereas mechanical technology fixed work in time and place, the electronic is lifting those constraints and initiating new processes. Two of the most notable are the decomposition of the labor force, including the decoupling of work from the employing organization, and the substitution of electronic for bureaucrati…

Against All Odds: Rural Community in the Information Age
Status Variation on Family Farms: Effects of Crop, Machinery, and Off‐farm Work 1
Uncertainties facing farm enterprises place a premium on flexibility and adaptability in the work force. A study of 695 North Carolina farm couples is used to examine the extent to which 12 tasks on a farm are shared among family members and hired workers. Using husband alone as the norm, this pattern is contrasted with husband and son, husband and wife, husband and hired help, and husband and other statuses. Production, support, and household ta…

The Contrasting Effects of Social, Organizational, and Economic Variables on Farm Production
This article draws on the intellectual traditions of industrial sociology to argue that social organizational variables as well as economic inputs affect production. Using a sample of 683 North Carolina farms, varying in size from 50 acres or fewer to more than 4,500 acres, the study found that the social organization of production and the occupational community of farming significantly affect production, net of the influences of agricultural res…

The Sociology of Work: Where Have the Workers Gone
Over the past 50 years, the field of industrial sociology (work and occupations) has shifted its focus from work and workers to economic concerns, and has transformed our conception of the worker from a social actor to a passive object acted on by macrolevel forces. The transformation took place in roughly three identifiable stages: an early period from the 1930s through the 1950s, a transitional period in the 1960s, and a recent period from 1970…

Class Identification Processes of Married, Working Men and Women
We propose gender-specific models of class identification based on the distinctive work and occupational experiences of men and women. Using data from the General Social Surveys of the National Opinion Research Center on white married men and women who were employed full time in 1973, 1974, 1976, 1977, and 1980, regression analysis supports our contention that processes of class identification are gender-specific. Men's class identification is pr…

Conjugal Work Roles and Marital Solidarity
WE propose a role homophily theory which posits that marriages are enhanced when spouses' roles are similar. We use cross-sectional survey data to determine how respondents' marital solidarity is affected by whether wives are employed, and by the occupationally derived socioeconomic status of both husbands and wives. We find that wives' employment has a positive effect on marital solidarity as perceived by both husbands and wives. This finding is…

Correlates and Estimation of Occupational Prestige
Ratings of the ninety occupations selected by the National Opinion Research Center were made by a group of judges on the responsibility, training, education, and skill required in each occupation, and showed a multiple correlation of .962 with NORC prestige scores. The personal autonomy of the job holder added no significant explanation of variance in prestige. This finding supports the views of recent theorists and is consistent with the Davis-M…

Occupational Recruitment, Retention, and Labor Force Cohort Representation
Occupations differ in recruting and retaining labor forces from different cohorts of workers. The measures cohort representation is constructed here to summarize outcomes of the different processes. The paper proposes an occupational competition model consisting of work qualifications, opportunities, rewards, and shelters to account for cohort representation in occupations. United States census data are used to follow four male and four female co…

In other words, the heavy drinkers consistently responded favorably to the direct-personal-effects items while the moderate drinkers, rejecting these statements, accepted the interpersonal-effects items. Non-drinkers rejected both of these types of items. Further research designed to interpret this association might follow one of the following lines. First, it might be reasoned that the personal-effects drinker lear…

Values, Personal Influence, and Occupational Choice
Values, personal influence, and occupational choice interact in complex ways, and more can be learned by studying their three-way relationships than by using the traditional dependent-and-independent-variable design. This research attempts to show that these variables are systematically interrelated in the career decisions of college students planning to enter business,, scientific and esthetic, and general cultural occupations. Hypotheses are te…
