This successful textbook on the sociology of work is now available in a new and updated edition. In addition to the wide range of contemporary and historical material, the second edition now has a number of new sections including a chapter on work in the global context. The empirical material has been extensively revised, making it the most uptodate introduction to the area currently available.

The Sociology of Work
examines the nature of work in its more traditional guises as industrial sociology and the labor process, and in the wider context of unpaid labor. The book emphasizes the links between social processes and the institutions of employment and their domestic and social contexts. The significance of race, gender and class is fully explored, as well as changes in organizational structure and the significance of new technology. In addition, the book has been fully redesigned, and contains a number of new student features to interest and guide the reader as well as an attractive and clear layout.

This book will be indispensable for students and teachers of the sociology of work, industrial sociology, organizational behavior and industrial relations.
