Computerization of the Workplace
Divergent conceptualizations of the recent changes in work organization that have accompanied computerization include neo-Bravermanian analyses, postindustrial analyses, and contingency analyses. To make sense of these differing views, the paper surveys sociological research on computerization and its impact on three analytically separate dimensions of the workplace: organizational restructuring, changes in worker skill, and power and authority r…

Technocratic organization is characterized by: (I) polarization into expert and non-expert sectors and the erosion of internal labor markets in favor of external credentialing, (2) flexible configurations of centralization/ decentralization, (3) skill restructuring, (4) increased importance of experti…

Both work institutions and the family, capitalism and patriarchy must change if work and family are to be capable of integration by both men and women. Obviously needed changes are: greater work scheduling flexibility, more available part‐time work for men and women, more available and affordable child care, more generous maternity and paternity leave. In order for work to be truly compatible with parenting it needs to be less alienated, and pare…

More and more workers in the United States are unable to use their educational background on the job. Such underemployment has been documented but not fully explored or analyzed. This paper examines the effects of underemployment on 32 low-level clerical workers, comparing their educational backgrounds with their at-titudes and behaviors. Higher education produces increased job dissatisfaction, higher turnover rates, reduced job involvement, impa…
