Fragmenting Work
This major new book examines the way in which employment is managed across organizational boundaries. It analyses how public-private partnerships, franchises, agencies and other forms of inter-firm contractual relations impact on work and employment and the experiences of those working in these increasingly significant forms of organization. It draws upon research undertaken in eight separate networks comprising over 50 organizations to explore the fragmentating effects of contemporary changes in the organization of work and employment relationships. It considers the consequences of increased reliance upon inter-organizational mechanisms for producing goods and especially for delivering serv...
The Oxford Handbook of Organization Theory
2) How has organization theory developed over time, and what structure has the field taken? What assumptions does knowledge produced in organization theory incorporate, and what forms do its knowledge claims take as they are put forward for public adoption? 3) How have certain well-known controversies in organization theory, such as for example, the structure/agency dilemma, the study of organizational culture, the different modes of explanation, the micro/macro controversy, and the differnet explanations produced by organizational economists and sociologists, been dealt with? 4) How, and in what ways, is knowledge generated in organization theory related to action? What features must organization theory knowledge have in order to be actionable, and of relevance to the world 'out there'? How have ethical concerns been taken into account in organization theory? 5) What is the future of organization theory? What direction should the field take? What must change in the way research is conducted and key theoretical terms are conceptualized so that organization theory enhances its capacity to generate valid and relevant knowledge?
Trade Unions and European Integration
Trade Unions and European Integration brings together pessimists and optimists on trade unionism under the contemporary pressures of European integration. The Great Recession has brought new attention to structural problems of the European integration process, specifically monetary integration; holding the potential of disabling any trans-national co-ordination. Other authors argue that the current crisis also poses the chance for mobilization and new impulses for European trade unionism. This is discussed in the volume alongside a variety of topics including bargaining coordination, co-determination, European governance regimes, and European wide mobilization. While the importance of the qu...

Neue Prekarität
Europaweit ist eine Zunahme sozialer Verwerfungen und prekärer Arbeitsverhältnisse zu verzeichnen - die "soziale Frage" ist in den Mittelpunkt des öffentlichen Interesses sowie in wissenschaftliche Debatten zurückgekehrt. Am Beispiel von Deutschland, Österreich, Polen, Großbritannien und der Schweiz zeigen die Autorinnen und Autoren, dass in diesen fünf Ländern die aktivierende Arbeitsmarktpolitik der letzten Jahre ihr Ziel verfehlt hat: Inklusion und "Wiedereingliederung" wurden nicht erreicht. Stattdessen haben die Aktivierungspolitiken zur Ausdehnung von Prekarität geführt: Sie vertiefen gerade jene Verwerfungen, die sie zu bekämpfen suchen.
Qualitative Sozialforschung und ihr Kontext
Prinzipiell handlungsleitende methodische Regeln der empirischen Sozialforschung werden in der Forschungspraxis ganz unterschiedlich umgesetzt. Dies hängt nicht nur vom Forschungsgegenstand ab, sondern auch von den Forschenden und deren Forschungsbedingungen – wie Jessica Pflüger mittels eines internationalen Vergleichs verschiedener Teams (der arbeitssoziologischen Fallstudienforschung) zeigt. Damit beleuchtet sie eine bislang wenig untersuchte Thematik an der Schnittstelle von Wissenschaftssoziologie und Methodologie: wissenschaftliche Teamarbeit. Die Ergebnisse der qualitativen Studie verweisen auf die Notwendigkeit einer stärkeren Kontextualisierung von Forschungspraxis. Sozialforschung kann nicht ohne den gesellschaftlichen Rahmen verstanden werden, sie ist in nationalspezifische (Forschungs-)Kulturen eingebettet.
