| Zusammenfassung: | Despotism on Demand draws attention to the impact of flexible scheduling on managerial power and workplace control. When we understand paid work as a power relationship, argues Alex J. Wood, we see how the spread of precarious scheduling constitutes flexible despotism; a novel regime of control within the workplace.Wood believes that flexible despotism represents a new domain of inequality, in which the postindustrial working class increasingly suffer a scheduling nightmare. By investigating two of the largest retailers in the world he uncovers how control in the contemporary "flexible firm" is achieved through the insidious combination of "flexible discipline" and "schedule gifts." Flexible discipline provides managers with an arbitrary means by which to punish workers, but flexible scheduling also requires workers to actively win favor with managers in order to receive "schedule gifts": more or better hours. Wood concludes that the centrality of precarious scheduling to control means that for those at the bottom of the postindustrial labor market the future of work will increasingly be one of flexible despotism |

Wood Ithaca ; London Cornell University Press [2020] © 2020 1 Online-Ressource (IX, 178 Seiten) Diagramm txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Despotism on Demand draws attention to the impact of flexible scheduling on managerial power and workplace control. When we understand paid work as a power relationship, argues Alex J. Wood, we see how the spread of precarious scheduling constitutes flexible despotism; a novel regime of control within the workplace.Wood believes that flexible despotism represents a new domain of inequality, in which the postindustrial working class increasingly suffer a scheduling nightmare. By investigating two of the largest retailers in the world he uncovers how control in the contemporary "flexible firm" is achieved through the insidious combination of "flexible discipline" and "schedule gifts." Flexible discipline provides managers with an arbitrary means by which to punish workers, but flexible scheduling also requires workers to actively win favor with managers in order to receive "schedule gifts": more or better hours. Wood concludes that the centrality of precarious scheduling to control means that for those at the bottom of the postindustrial labor market the future of work will increasingly be one of flexible despotism Anticommunism, Philippines, US empire, decolonization, Cold War Humanities & Human Rights Sociology & Social Science POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations bisacsh Flexible work arrangements Great Britain Flexible work arrangements United States Hours of labor Great Britain Hours of labor United States Industrial relations Great Britain Industrial relations United States Precarious employment Great Britain Precarious employment United States Unterdrückung (DE-588)4257314-2 gnd rswk-swf Management (DE-588)4037278-9 gnd rswk-swf Arbeitsflexibilisierung (DE-588)4128237-1 gnd rswk-swf Arbeitnehmer (DE-588)4002623-1 gnd rswk-swf Macht (DE-588)4036824-5 gnd rswk-swf Management (DE-588)4037278-9 s Macht (DE-588)4036824-5 s Arbeitsflexibilisierung (DE-588)4128237-1 s Arbeitnehmer (DE-588)4002623-1 s Unterdrückung (DE-588)4257314-2 s DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-5017-4887-5 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe, EPUB 978-1-5017-4889-9 Erscheint auch als Druck-Ausgabe 978-1-5017-4888-2 https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501748905 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext |
