520 _a "The third edition of this best-selling textbook has been carefully revised to provide an up-to-date, indispensable introduction to the sociology of work. It not only includes clear explanations of classic theories and evidence, but also covers the most cutting-edge research, data and debates. The book contains substantive new sections on globalization, including global branding and slave labour, and a new chapter on the myths and realities of modern employment." "Chapter-by-chapter, Keith Grint examines different sociological approaches to work, emphasizing the links between social processes, the institutions of employment, and their social and domestic contexts. His use of an international range of empirical evidence helps to make his account especially accessible to undergraduate readers. The book has been specially designed to support students' understanding of, and to develop their critical responses to, the literature. Written in a lively and accessible style, it provides student-friendly chapter summaries, suggestions for further reading, a glossary and practice essay questions." "This third edition will be essential reading for students of the sociology of work, industrial sociology, organizational behavior and industrial relations. Students studying business and management courses with a sociological component will also find the book invaluable."--BOOK JACKET.
