Advanced Technology and Worker Alienation. Comments on the Blauner/Marxism Debate.
Vallas, Steven Peter; Yarrow, Michael
Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v14 n1 p126-42 Feb 1987
The authors critically examine the analysis by Hull, Friedman, and Roger finding that deskilling and heightened alienation are not necessarily the outcomes of increased technology. The authors suggest that the outcome of technological change be approached as an indeterminate process shaped by prevailing relations between workers and management. (Author/CH)
