‘Definitive, critical and engaging, this is a superb introduction to the sociology of work.’ Leo Mc Cann

The new edition includes:
- Two new chapters on ‘Work, Skill and the Labour Process’ and ‘Managing Culture at Work’.
- Expanded coverage of the rise and decline of trade unions; emotional labour, misbehaviour, and resistance at work.
- Further discussion of the gig economy and precarious work; automation and the end of work; globalization and human rights.
