{"product_id":"myths-at-work","title":"Myths at Work","description":"During the last two decades there have been profound changes in the organization of work. \u003ci\u003eMyths at\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eWork\u003c\/i\u003e explores these changes, critically examining and challenging some of the central frameworks that have been used to explain them. \u003cp\u003eGlobal economic restructuring has brought about changes in the jobs we do, our labour market opportunities, and the shape of our individual career paths. These changes have been explained through a number of potent 'myths' (in the sense of widely-held bodies of ideas) including globalization, post-fordist production methods, and a new consumer-based form of capitalism. The authors examine these myths, explain how they have come about, and question their accuracy. While doing so they provide a more accurate picture of employment and the modern workplace. They also look at the 'myths' of the feminisation of the labour force, the skills revolution, lean production, non-standard employment, the death of class, the end of trade unionism, and the 'economic worker'.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe result is an illuminating and accessible teaching and research text that will appeal to students and academics in the sociology of work, organizational behaviour, business studies, and related areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steve Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42849111310397,"sku":"9780745622712","price":33.26,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780745622712_b36e9a85-f8e5-4633-a439-f95eae099bbb.jpg?v=1766994155","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/myths-at-work","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
