Sociology, Work and Organisation, 7th Edition, applies the sociological imagination to examine institutions of work, organisations, occupations, management, and employment in the twenty-first century.
Author Tony Watson examines technological change alongside shifting patterns of inequality in modern societies, tracing how these forces affect the experiences of individuals and families. The text introduces analytical frameworks such as scientific management, human relations, institutionalism, and labour process theory.
Written for undergraduates, postgraduates, academics, and management practitioners, the textbook includes chapter summaries, key issue guides, and illustrative mini cases to support study.
