The Embedded Character of Workplace Relations.
Frenkel, Stephen J.
Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v30 n2 p135-53 May 2003
The workplace is embedded in three force fields: the macro field of globalization/technology, the meso field of transnational production networks, and the micro field of local labor markets and organizations. Each field influences the way flexibility and cost reduction are prioritized and has consequences for workplace structures and relations. (Contains 62 references.) (SK)
