Explaining Conflicted Collaboration: A Critical Realist Approach to Hegemony
提出用批判实在论理解霸权,分析工作组织中同时存在的相互依赖与脱节导致的冲突性合作现象,强调能动性与资本主义社会结构的作用,适合研究组织社会学和劳资关系的学者参考。
The evidence on current developments in work organization suggests that the outcome is often one of `conflicted collaboration', where there is simultaneous interdependence and disconnection resulting in both coercive and collaborative experiences for workers. It is argued here that analysis and explanation of these findings requires engagement with both the active role of agency and the social structures of capitalist development. These analyses must also locate the workplace in wider social contexts. A critical realist approach to understanding hegemony offers considerable potential in this endeavour.
