The devil is in the details: Considering labour in the paradigms for a socioecological transformation
The climate crisis constitutes a profound and pressing challenge, with substantial evidence indicating that current strategies to mitigate climate change are insufficient. A central question within contemporary policy discourse concerns the compatibility of climate objectives with continued economic growth. Divergent perspectives on this issue have given rise to three principal paradigms: green growth, post-growth, and degrowth. Each of these fra…
One size fits all? Implementation and effects of a job guarantee for long-term-unemployed persons
Researchers and policymakers propose a job guarantee as a means of overcoming long-term unemployment and the associated risk of social exclusion. Such a programme implies that all long-term-unemployed individuals within a certain territory are offered subsidised employment in not-for-profit enterprises or the public sector. This results in heterogeneous participation because the group of long-term-unemployed people is more diverse than often assu…
Solidaritätsorientierungen und soziale Positionen. Klassenhabituelle Haltungen zu Sozialstaat und Geflüchteten in Österreich
The article examines the importance of social class in shaping solidarity orientations in Austria, especially with regard to welfare state arrangements and solidarity with refugees. It builds on 48 interviews conducted between 2016 and 2019. Distinguishing multiple dimensions of solidarity, the paper builds a typology of seven solidarity configurations, which are then systematically related to the class position of interviewees articulating them.…

I Get Money for What I Like Doing Best: The Class Origin of Young Blue-Collar Workers and their Commitment to Work
Applying Bourdieu's theory of social reproduction, this article deals with workers' family-of-origin class position and the associated socialisation processes as systematic influencers of individual work orientations and commitment to work. It draws on a study of young blue-collar workers in Austria to argue how growing up in a working-class setting shapes dispositions that contribute to the commitment to manual work. The results show how these d…

Symbolic struggles over solidarity in times of crisis: Trade unions, civil society actors and the political far right in Austria
As a consequence of the recent financial and economic crisis, social cohesion and integration are in jeopardy all over Europe. In this context, scholars also speak of decreasing solidarity, which is defined as a normative obligation to help each other and to make sacrifices to reach common goals. By taking the empirical example of Austria, we argue that the meaning of solidarity is increasingly being contested. Various collective actors such as t…
Microwork
Microwork or microtasking is defined as digital work carried out via Internet platforms containing repetitive small tasks. The concept has gained currency in the debates on the Internet economy and the emergence of a global workforce for information processing. It emerged from the combined interest in the developments of the capitalist labor process and the social consequences of technological change. Research on microwork covers a number of diff…

Triangular love–hate: Management and control in creative crowdworking
This article analyses the ways in which creative crowdwork is managed and controlled within social and economic power relations. It presents findings from a research project on creative crowdworkers focussing on aspects of management and control. The research shows that the design of the platforms and the strategies of their operating companies clearly structure the triangular relationship between platform, clients and workers. In addition to bur…

Das Ende der Pfadabhängigkeit? – Umwälzungen in den industriellen Beziehungen seit der Krise
Trotz der durch Globalisierung und europäischen Binnenmarkt verschärften Regimekonkurrenz haben sich die Verhandlungssysteme der industriellen Beziehungen in der EU vielfach als stabil erwiesen und eher pfadabhängig entwickelt. Seit der Finanz- und Wirtschafskrise ist in einer Reihe von Ländern eine beschleunigte Erosion zu beobachten, die auf eine Senkung der Löhne und eine Schwächung der Gewerkschaften hinausläuft. Eingriffe in Lohnfindungsproz…

"…Was Willst Du Viel Mitbestimmen?"
Wie entwickeln sich die Partizipationschancen der Erwerbstätigen unter den Bedingungen flexibler, projektförmiger oder mobiler Arbeit? Das ist die zentrale Frage dieses Buchs, das im Rahmen des Forschungsprogramms »New Orientations for Democracy in Europe« entstand. Die Autoren nehmen eine Vergleichsperspektive ein, die durch starke Kontraste besonders interessante Aufschlüsse verspricht: Sie untersuchen empirisch Unternehmen, die informationstec…
Fragmenting labour: Organisational restructuring, employment relations and the dynamics of national regulatory frameworks
The conditions of work and employment are becoming increasingly diverse not only at global level, but also within countries, sectors and even organisations. The restructuring of companies and value chains contributes to this fragmentation of employment because restructuring is entangled with shifts in the forms of employment and the composition of labour. These tendencies, in turn, are shaped by specific national employment regulations which medi…
Organisational restructuring and emerging service value chains: Implications for Work and Employment
This article examines companies' and public sector organisations' external restructuring processes, with consideration of emerging or lengthening value chains and network relationships in the service sector. Focusing on two business functions - software development in the IT industry and IT services for public sector organisations - the article describes the types of inter-organisational relations that emerge and analyses the impact of restructur…
Network economy or just a new breed of multinationals? relocation of eWork as a window to the restructuring of value chains
The global information economy is subject to processes of profound restructuring based on new information and communication technologies. These processes follow different logics, with centralisation within international companies playing as significant a role as decentralisation or the development of networks. This paper makes use of findings from the EMERGENCE and Asian EMERGENCE case study research into telemediated work and relocation of work …
Einleitung
Das Thema beschreibt ein Spannungsverhältnis zwischen einer nach wie vor im Kern an den Nationalstaat gebundenen institutionellen Regelung der Arbeitsmärkte und einer Arbeitsmarktrealität, die, wie es scheint, immer stärker durch grenzüberschreitende Arbeitskräftewanderungen gekennzeichnet ist. Die soziologische und sozialwissenschaftliche Arbeitsmarktforschung ist sich bis heute weitgehend darin einig, daß es in den entwickelten Industrieländern…
It Ain't What You Do, it's the Way that You Do it: Production Organisation and Skill Utilisation in Commercial Vehicles
New paradigms of work organisation espousing a radical break in production systems assert a natural identity between advanced manufacturing and utilisation of skilled labour. Using findings from a comparative project on the commercial vehicle industry in Sweden, Austria and the UK, the paper aims to unpack the theory and practice of new forms of production. It does identify common tendencies within advanced manufacturing, notably a growth in cogn…
