New Philosophies of Labour
One of the most vexing questions in contemporary political philosophy and social theory concerns the framework within which to undertake a normatively well-grounded, empirically attuned critique of capitalist society. This volume takes the debate forward by proposing a new framework that emphasizes the central anthropological significance of work (its role in constituting human subjectivity) as well as the role work has in the formation of social bonds. Drawing on the philosophy of Hegel and the post-Hegelian tradition of critical social theory, special attention is given to the significance of recognition in work, the problems of misrecognition generated in the present culture of capitalism, and the normative resources available for criticising it.
Human-Centered AI at Work: Common Ground in Theories and Methods
Research can face artificial intelligence (AI) as an issue of technology development but also as an issue of enacted technology at work. Human-centered design of AI gives emphasis to the expertise and needs of human beings as a starting point of technology development or as an outcome of AI-based work settings. This is an important goal, as expressed, for example, by the international labor organization's call for a "human-centered agenda" for the future of AI and automation collaboration. This Research Topic raises the question of what human-centricity means, i.e. what are the criteria and indicators of human-centered AI and how can they be considered and implemented?
Psychology and the Conduct of Everyday Life
Psychology and the Conduct of Everyday Life moves psychological theory and research practice out of the laboratory and into the everyday world. Drawing on recent developments across the social and human sciences, it examines how people live as active subjects within the contexts of their everyday lives, using this as an analytical basis for understanding the dilemmas and contradictions people face in contemporary society. Early chapters gather the latest empirical research to explore the significance of context as a cross-disciplinary critical tool; they include a study of homeless Māori men reaffirming their cultural identity via gardening, and a look at how the dilemmas faced by children ...
Capitalism and Labor
"Social theory has largely abandoned a focus on labor and with it its empirical foundation, while the sociology of work has neglected the production of theory more generally. It is for precisely this reason that Capitalism and labor has become a standard work on this subject. Labor and employment relations have become both increasingly diverse as well as less secure while, at the same time, labor and distributional struggles are being waged ever more fiercely. Adequately grasping these changes requires innovative impulses emerging from the analysis of capitalism, just as the sociology of work has a lot to contribute to the former. In this translated and updated edition the authors discuss current theoretical approachers in an attempt to once again conceive capitalism and labor together"--Back cover.

Organisation und Unsicherheit
Das Buch „Organisation und Unsicherheit“ geht der Frage nach, wie Organisationen in der Gegenwart auf Unsicherheiten reagieren. Diese Unsicherheiten können organisationsintern erzeugt werden oder aus der Organisationsumwelt resultieren. Aus unterschiedlichen theoretischen Perspektiven und anhand verschiedener empirischer Analysen zu Jugendämtern, Bildungseinrichtungen, High Reliability Organisationen und Organisationen des Finanzmarktes u.a.m. wird gezeigt, welche Konsequenzen sich aus zunehmenden Unsicherheiten für das Handeln in Organisationen und die Beziehungen zwischen Organisationen und Umwelt ergeben. Versuche, Unsicherheit zu vermeiden oder zu beseitigen, führen dabei – wie viele der Beiträge zeigen – zu neuen Unsicherheiten.

Lexikon der Arbeits- und Industriesoziologie
Der Untersuchungsgegenstand der Arbeits- und Industriesoziologie hat sich beständig und massiv verändert. Zwar ist Arbeit nach wie vor eine bestimmende Größe im Leben der meisten Menschen und eine zentrale Kategorie in der Analyse sozialer Prozesse. Doch Inhalte, Organisationsformen, Beanspruchungen und technische Grundlagen von Arbeit unterlagen ebenso starkem Wandel wie die sozialen, hierarchischen und politischen Beziehungen, in die sie eingebettet ist, und die Erwartungen, Interessen und Qualifikationen der Personen, die sie ausführen. Der Dynamik des Gegenstands gerecht werden, die Breite des disziplinären Wissens dokumentieren und dabei variierenden Nutzerbedürfnissen entgegenko...
