Description

This book injects a burst of energy into the sociology of work, offering a perspective that is both innovative and deeply informed. Leading sociology of work scholar, Marek Korczynski, praises the discipline’s comprehensive approach to theory, its focus on uncovering power dynamics and its ability to reveal how social injustices often stem from workplace inequalities. Offering an accessible overview of the field, the book: · analyses both the social structures around work and the voice and agency of workers; · examines the role and impact of artificial intelligence at work; · provides a consistent thread on gig work, service work and knowledge work; · has an end-section in each chapter where students are asked to put their sociological imagination to work on relevant topics. This is an enlightening exploration of sociology of work, and of the evolving world of work itself.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
