Virtual charismatic leadership and signaling theory: A prospective meta-analysis in five countries
Voice in French corporate training: A critical issue in developing employee capability
The article discusses the impact of organizational configurations on employees’ training capabilities. Inspired by the capability approach, it uses qualitative data to question under what organizational conditions firms in France provide their employees with the opportunities and means to participate not just in training programmes, but in those programmes they have reason to value. The results suggest the existence of three different training mo…
Unpacking the Service Triangle: Arranging Power Relations Between Frontline Occupations
Service work scholarship has insufficiently acknowledged the diversity of interactive frontline occupational categories within organizations. Nor has it paid enough attention to how frontline workers act collectively to deal with the structural contradictions in the service labor process to actually produce a service. This article studies both these questions using Anselm Strauss' conceptual framework, articulation work. Based on in-depth qualita…
Esprit de corps et jeux de distinction étudiants Deux faces d’un week-end d’intégration dans une école de commerce
Cet article propose d’approfondir la compréhension de la sociabilité étudiante au sein des « grandes écoles » via l’analyse d’un week-end d’intégration. Partant de l’interprétation évidente qu’en ont les acteurs, celle d’un événement servant à la socialisation des étudiants, il la critique et montre comment la fonction d’intégration, à savoir l’acculturation à la vie de l’école, l’assimilation des rites étudiants et la mise en relation avec les a…
No Room for Class Struggle in These National Undertakings: Providing social welfare for Indian state sector industrial workers (circa 1950-2000)
Independent India's new state-owned infrastructural industries were not only entrusted with the mission of producing essential public commodities, but they were also required to promote the economic and social advancement of their workforces. To achieve this objective, big public enterprises in particular, helped by the financial power they derived from their control over the strategic sectors of the domestic economy, established generously endow…
From monopoly power to deregulated markets: The travails of a state-owned firm (ITI Ltd)
India’s policymakers justified the introduction of neoliberal economic reforms by advancing one of the main grounds that it would help optimise the performance of state-controlled enterprises. This article argues, on the contrary, that the reform process had an extremely deleterious effect on these enterprises’ operations. Based on a detailed ethno-historical case study of ITI, a large public sector manufacturer of telecommunications equipment, t…
The politics of technology and site location: Impact of state interventionism on an Indian public sector firm
Can an industrial organisation simultaneously fulfil economic and social functions, that is to say successfully reconcile its own priorities of optimal resource utilisation and productive efficiency with the larger objectives of social justice defined for it by public authorities? This is the central question this paper whose compass is restricted to the 1980s asks, and seeks to answer on the basis of a study of locational and technology choices …
Work and autonomy in the assembly of printed circuit boards: An ethnographic account
Work, conceptualised as a concrete and practical activity, continues to remain an under-explored problematic in the field of Indian labour studies. The neglect of ethnographic research techniques could perhaps account for this shortcoming. Based on non-participant observation in a public sector company, this article examines the practices and attitudes of workers specialised in assembling printed circuit boards for electronic telephones. Despite …
Occupational Mobility and Internal Labour Markets: Public Sector Workers’ Struggles in Bangalore (c. 1960–1980)
Instead of seeking to conceptualize internal labour markets as either exclusively facilitating employers’ drive for greater workplace efficiency or reinforcing the contractual rights of workers, it would be more productive to recast them as institutions inherently ambivalent in character, and hence equally capable of serving the interests of both sides. This also implies that formalized career structures are not always the unilateral creations of…
