Reconstruction and restoration: the legacies of post-war German Industrial Sociology
本文比较了二战后德国工业社会学的重建过程,指出其独特的知识传统和制度背景塑造了注重质性研究、高技能工作解放潜力、合作劳资关系以及将就业研究与社会理论结合的特点,对比较就业制度研究有参考价值。
The article reconstructs the re-birth of Industrial Sociology in Germany after the Second World War in a comparative perspective. Although sharing the main context conditions and maintaining a constant and fluent exchange with their colleagues in other countries, the German intellectual traditions and specific institutional context motivated several particular interests and perspectives that shape a distinct German Industrial Sociology until today. The dominance of qualitative in-depth research, the focus on the emancipative potentials in high-skill-based work organization, the cooperative industrial relations tradition and the constant attempts to link employment studies with general social theory on modern capitalist society and social change characterize German Industrial Sociology. The richness of distinct national institutional settings for comparative social research on employment regimes may be another lesson to be learned from critical reconstruction of labour sociology.
