Employing Bureaucracy

Managers, Unions, and the Transformation of Work in the 20th Century, Revised Edition

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The present revised edition is an attempt to understand how industrial labor was transformed and to identify the historical process by which good jobs were created. It is, therefore, an account of the bureaucratization of employment, since many of the features that define good jobs; stability, internal promotion, and rule-bound procedures are characteristic of bureaucratic organizations. The book also examines the upheaval in the labor markets of the 1980's and 1990's, which has caused a reduction in the number of good jobs. Chapter 9 in this revised edition carries the narrative forward from 1945 to the present time, examining both the high-point of the bureaucratic system in the 1950's and 1960's--the golden years--and its erosion since then.
