Managerial Prerogative and the Question of Control
In both Marxist and non-Marxist scholarship there has been a remarkable neglect of the managerial control of labour. John Storey’s analysis of the modern labour process shows that managerial control is in fact more precarious than has been so far recorded. This book, first published in 1983, reassesses the Braverman theory of the inexorable degradation of work, and demonstrates the need to go beyond not only Braverman but also most of the ensuing…

Dynamics of Institutional Change
Exchange Theory and Sexual Permissiveness
An exchange theory of social behavior is advanced to explain intersocietal differences in sex codes. An examination of 153 societies drawn from Mur dock's World Ethnographic Sample (1957) and from the HRAF-Microfiles indicates modest support for the thesis that the location of power and resources as they influence social interaction and exchange are contributory forces in accounting for the level of sexual permissiveness found in society
The Politics of Corruption
Religiosity and Civil Rights Militancy
Family Responsibility and Legal Norms
The failure of common law to develop the principle of family responsibility and its subsequent statutory emergence in sixteenth century England provides the focus for examining the assumption that tensions between the family system and other institutions are unique to industrialized society. Analysis of historical data suggests needed qualification of this assumption and demonstrates the relationship of political and economic forces to the develo…
Familial Conflict, Adolescent Rebellion, and Political Expression
Studies of the relationship between family conflict and adolescent divergence from parental political views have produced inconclusive findings. A notable weakness of past research has been its reliance on recall data from respondents concerning the level of conflict experienced during adolescent years. By analyzing data directly from a sample of junior-high adolescents, the relationship of family conflict to political orientation has been reexam…
Deviance, Visibility, and Legal Action
Utilizing record data, the author examines the relationship between normative law expressed in the statutes, and law in action as reflected in the activities of law enforcement bodies. A discrepancy between normative law and legal action develops from the value-orientations of society to maintain a “one-marriage” monogamous family system, from the high rate of divorce and remarriage, and the inappropriateness of legal sanctions to the offense of …
Transformation of Alienation into Public Opinion
Dissonance-Congruence and the Perception of Public Opinion
The discrepancy between prevailing public opinion and what various community members estimate as public opinion has traditionally been explained through either the social or psychological characteristics of respondents. In this paper we attempt to account for degrees of public-opinion awareness through a model based on the relationship among an individual's opinion, his cognitive set, and the majority opinion of public members. A theory of imbala…
