Dignity at Work (Hardcover)

Hardcover. Working with dignity is a fundamental part of achieving a life well-lived, yet the workplace often poses challenging obstacles because of mismanagement or managerial abuse. Defending dignity and realizing self-respect through work are key to workers' well-being. In this book Randy Hodson, a sociologist of work and organizational behavior, applies ethnographic and statistical approaches to this topic, offering both a richly detailed, inside look at real examples of dignity in action, and a broader analysis of the pivotal role of dignity at work. Dignity at Work describes workers' efforts to maintain and defend their dignity in the workplace in the face of management abuse and incompetence, unreasonable work demands, incursions on autonomy, and manipulative programs of worker participation.
