Employment Management Work: A Case Study and Theoretical Framework
本文提出“就业管理工作”概念,指资本主义市场经济中所有人终身参与的过程,通过整合多领域文献和低薪工人深度访谈,构建理论框架。
Managing employment and labor market experiences is a critical activity for virtually all adults but it is undertheorized in the sociology of work. In this article, we argue for the concept of employment management work, referring to the generic, lifelong process in which everyone in a capitalist market economy engages to some degree. To grasp the significance of employment management work, we draw on and synthesize multiple streams of literature and then analyze a set of in-depth interviews from a study of low-wage workers in an effort to bridge these literatures and to highlight salient features of a theory of employment management work.
