One of the central dynamics shaping organizations today is a contradiction managers face between ensuring workforce discipline and harnessing worker creativity. This contradiction has been intensifying over the last four decades as employee involvement has become increasingly important in response to rapid technological change, requirements for flexibility, and demands for continuous improvement. In manufacturing, global best practice includes lean production with substantive worker empowerment; cross-training in enlarged tasks and inclusion in problem solving and decision making. Yet, many managers instead face these conflicting pressures by training workers in narrow tasks and using them exclusively for manual labor.In this richly evidenced study of American manufacturing, Matt Vidal presents a synthetic theory called 'organizational political economy', integrating concepts from organization theory into a classical marxist framework. This theory emphasizes how contradictory developments - conflicting pressures and competing logics of labor management - lead management to be divided. Some managers adopt best practice by substantively empowering their workforce while others settle for good enough. Capitalist management is increasingly a source of organizational inefficiency. This argument is not limited to manufacturing. Managers experience contradictory pressures - for standardization versus discretion, deskilling versus upskilling - in a wide range of occupations including education, healthcare, software development, and many more.

Economische schokken zoals de coronacrisis zorgen voor pieken en dalen in het benodigde arbeidsvolume in bedrijven en sectoren. Dit VIONA-onderzoek focust op vijf maatregelen of instrumenten die de werkgevers hebben benut om de daling van het arbeidsvolume te ondervangen, met een speciale focus op het systeem van tijdelijke werkloosheid. Het onderzoek is afgebakend tot 2020, en neemt dus de impact van de eerste en tweede golf van het coronavirus in beeld. Het onderzoek bestaat uit twee deelrapporten: het eerste verkent hoe en welke strategieën gecombineerd werden, en het tweede rapport onderzoekt de determinanten van de inzet van tijdelijke werkloosheid.

'The Digital Factory' reveals the hidden human labour that supports today's digital capitalism. The workers of today's digital factory include those in Amazon warehouses, delivery drivers, Chinese gaming workers, Filipino content moderators, and rural American search engine optimizers. Repetitive yet stressful, boring yet often emotionally demanding, these jobs require little formal qualification, but can demand a large degree of skills and knowledge. This work is often hidden behind the supposed magic of algorithms and thought to be automated, but it is in fact highly dependent on human labour.
