An essential account of the current employment landscape, Working Life features significant contributions from leading international researchers in the fields of employment, labour relations and organization studies.

Following on from the influential Workplaces of the Future and Labour Process Theory, this landmark text interrogates the relationships between capitalism, management and employees at work today. It reinvigorates the study of work by reassessing core labour process theory and approaches to issues such as control, skill, resistance, technology and gender, as well as new work on emotional labour, the body, identity, global labour markets and value chains

Working Life is recommended for second and third year undergraduate and postgraduates studying the Sociology of Work, Organizational Behaviour, HRM and Work Organization.

Industry Reviews

'This collection represents the most current and most critical view on the world of work that there is'. - Thomas Klikauer, Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research 'This volume stands out as one of the periodic paradigm 'stock taking' exercises. As a collection, Working Life is at its strongest when its contributions are confronting the new realities of work and chiefly the changes that have been wrought on work, workers and organizing by the shift to a service economy and by the globalization of economic activity. In so doing the continuing relevance of LPT [Labour Process Theory] is placed on open display...' - Bob Russell, Relations Industrielles/Industrial Relations , vol 66, no 1, 2011 'Working Life: Renewing Labour Process Analysis is an absorbing and valuable book that critically examines the changing world of work [...] This is essential reading for academics interested in LPT, industrial relations and the sociology of work, and is particularly relevant with the aftermath of the economic crisis, proving once again that work matters.' Andrew Smith, Industrial Relations Journal, vol 43, no 1, 2012
