This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro trata sobre la incidencia del cambio tecnológico en las transformaciones estructurales del mercado de trabajo y, en concreto, sobre la proliferación de un fenómeno relativamente novedoso como es la precariedad laboral. Tras su contextualización en el marco teórico, desarrollado bajo los supuestos de la teoría de las ondas largas y la teoría de la regulación, se argumenta que la expansión de la precariedad laboral es consecuencia de la reorganización del proceso productivo impulsado por las empresas y de las políticas neoliberales de ajuste y flexibilización efectuadas por los Estados como respuesta a la crisis de las economías capitalistas de los años 1970 y 80, sugiriendo que a ella el cambio técnico ha contribuido, como instrumento de manera específicamente importante. En base a ello, se plantea, ceteris paribus, la existencia de una relación directa entre las tasas de variación del cambio técnico, medida mediante índices de productividad de Malmquist, y las tasas de variación de la precariedad laboral. Dicho supuesto se concreta en el caso de España, circunscribiendo el campo de estudio a sus comunidades autónomas para el período comprendido entre 1987 y 2004, que es desde cuando existe información estadística disponible. Constatando, mediante el análisis estadístico, una tendencia marcada de correlación de signo positivo entre ambas variables. Se concluye que tal tendencia obedece a la estrategia de flexibilidad laboral impulsada por las políticas gubernamentales de desregulación del mercado de trabajo.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este trabajo se presenta un estudio de las transformaciones que se han producido en el entorno laboral a partir de la época postfordista, situada en torno a los años setenta, y las consecuencias que ello ha traído hasta la actualidad. Se trata de una etapa fundamentalmente caracterizada por pésimas condiciones de trabajo, traducidas en inseguridad e indefensión para los trabajadores, lo que recibe el nombre de precariedad laboral. Otro aspecto destacable y que consideramos estrechamente relacionado con la precariedad, es la flexibilidad laboral, la cual puede entenderse como falta de control de los trabajadores sobres sus puestos de trabajo e incertidumbre sobre su situación y futuro laboral. La precariedad laboral se manifiesta como una realidad permanente propia del mercado laboral, en el que las empresas tienen como objetivos primordiales el aumento de su productividad y el abaratamiento de sus costes, al igual que la imposición de disciplina, lo que afecta principalmente a jóvenes, mujeres e inmigrantes. Todos estos aspectos se ven reflejados en la actualidad, sobre todo en lo que respecta al desempleo y los contratos temporales, pudiendo destacar también los bajos salarios o el reducido tiempo de permanencia en los empleos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presente investigacion analiza las caracteristicas del mercado de trabajo en Mexico, las cuales se han vuelto mas heterogeneas a partir del predominio de los modelos de produccion post fordistas, asi como por la entrada de nuestro pais y la mayor parte de las economias al comercio global, lo que ha dado lugar a procesos industriales y mercados laborales mas flexibles. Se analizan dos posturas acerca de la relacion que guardan la precariedad y la flexibilidad laboral y se sostiene que pueden existir diversos grados de precariedad laboral a pesar de asumirse una rigidez sui generis en el marco legal del mercado de trabajo en Mexico. Para demostrar la hipotesis anterior se hizo uso de una metodologia mixta de investigacion. En la parte cualitativa, se analiza el caso de los voceadores de periodicos (canillitas) de Monterrey y para la parte cuantitativa, se propone un indice de medicion integral de la precariedad laboral. Se demuestra que aunque el grado de precariedad laboral en Mexico ha variado en los ultimos quince anos, disminuyendo en las epocas de bonanza y aumentando en las de crisis, no hay indicios de que sea un fenomeno que tenga miras de desaparecer, sino al contrario."

Download or read book Neoliberalism and Punishment written by Ignacio González-Sánchez and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the expansion of the penal system in Spain during the first 40 years of democracy, this book puts forward the importance of studying punishment from a sociological perspective and examines the neoliberal penality thesis. Today, Spain has more police officers and more people in prison than 50 years ago and a tougher penal code than that which existed at Franco’s death; however, crime has not increased for three decades, while most of the hardening of the penal system has occurred after its stabilisation. Studying the development of penality in Spanish democracy, this book explores Loïc Wacquant’s proposal that the expansion of the penal system should be understood as a characteristic of neoliberalism. It examines the parallel and reciprocal development of three policies in relation to the gradual implementation of neoliberal ideas and highlights how the evolution of the labour market, social policies, and the penal system are linked to one another and to neoliberal ideas related to the sacralisation of the utilitarian individual and the role of the state. Advocating for a sociological study of state punishment and contributing to a better understanding of the implementation of neoliberal policies, Neoliberalism and Punishment will be of great interest to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, and politics.
Download or read book Employment Contracts Psychological Contracts and Employee Well Being written by David E. Guest and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temporary employment has become a focus of policy debate, theory, and research. The book addresses as its core concern the relationship between temporary employment contracts and employee well-being. It does so within the analytic framework of the psychological contract, and advances theory and knowledge about the psychological contract by exploring it from a variety of perspectives. It also sets the psychological contract within the context of a range of other potential influences on work-related well-being including workload, job insecurity, employability, and organizational support. A key aim of the book is to identify the relative importance of these various potential influences on well-being. The book covers seven countries; Belgium, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and the UK, as well as Israel as a comparator outside Europe. Data were collected from over 5,000 workers in over 200 organizations; and from both permanent and temporary workers as well as from employers. The book's conclusions are interesting and controversial. The central finding is that contrary to expectations, temporary workers report higher well-being than permanent workers. As expected, a range of factors help to explain variations in work-related well-being and the research highlights the important role of the psychological contract. However, even after taking into account alternative explanations, the significant influence of type of employment contract remains, with temporary workers reporting higher well-being. In addition to this core finding, by exploring several aspects of the psychological contract, and taking into account both employer and employee perspectives, the book sheds new light on the nature and role of the psychological contract. It also raises some challenging policy questions and while acknowledging the potentially precarious nature of temporary jobs, highlights the need to consider the increasingly demanding nature of permanent jobs and their effects on the well-being of employees.
Download or read book Tackling Precarious Work written by Stuart C. Carr and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tackling precarious work has been described by the United Nations (UN)’s International Labour Organization (ILO) as the main challenge facing the world of work. In this ground-breaking book, leading applied research scholars, advocates, and activists from across the globe respond to this challenge by showing how Industrial and Organizational (I/O) psychology has a significant contribution to make in humanity moving away from precarious work situations towards sustainable livelihoods. Broken down into four key parts on Sustainable Livelihoods, Fair Incomes, Work Security and Social Protection, the book covers a multitude of topics including the role of poor pay, lack of work-related security, social protection for human health and wellbeing, and interventions and policies to implement for the future of work. The volume offers a detailed look into useful and effective ways to tackle precarious work to create and maintain sustainable livelihoods. This curated collection of 22 chapters considers the broader relationships between previous research work and issues of human security and sustainability that affect workers, families, communities, and societies. Each chapter expands the present understandings of the world of precarious work and how it fits within broader issues of economic, ecological, and social sustainability. In addition to I/O psychologists in research, practice, service and study, this book will also be useful for organizational researchers, labor unions, HR practitioners, fair trade, cooperative, and civil society organizations, social scientists, human security analysts, public health professionals, economists, and supporters of the UN SDGs, including at the UN.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with precarity within the digital age and focuses on media change and social insecurity. Change arising from digital developments takes place on micro-, meso- and meta-levels and have always social implications. Concepts such as Social Media, eHealth and Digital Capitalism, Informational Capitalism and Social Exclusion, Digital Globalization and Motility frame the social dynamics and implications of changes in digital media. These changes evoke a double precarity or stable unstability: Social practices throughout the diverse societal fields are questioned through the media change which leads to a digital age. The ongoing media change requires new social practices – what evokes precarity as an ongoing insecurity how to face the `new digital world ́.As a socio-economic phenomenon and effect of neoliberal policy precarity changes life planning and self-narrations of the affected individuals. Precarity and neoliberal subjection-processes manifest in the digital age and are performatively re-produced by the way new media are used.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every person who reads this text on the printed page, many more will read it on a computer screen or mobile device. It’s a situation that we increasingly take for granted in our digital era, and while it is indicative of the novelty of twenty-first-century capitalism, it is also the key to understanding its driving force: the relentless impulse to commodify our lives in every aspect. Ursula Huws ties together disparate economic, cultural, and political phenomena of the last few decades to form a provocative narrative about the shape of the global capitalist economy at present. She examines the way that advanced information and communications technology has opened up new fields of capital accumulation: in culture and the arts, in the privatization of public services, and in the commodification of human sociality by way of mobile devices and social networking. These trends are in turn accompanied by the dramatic restructuring of work arrangements, opening the way for new contradictions and new forms of labor solidarity and struggle around the planet. Labor in the Global Digital Economy is a forceful critique of our dizzying contemporary moment, one that goes beyond notions of mere connectedness or free-flowing information to illuminate the entrenched mechanisms of exploitation and control at the core of capitalism.

Book excerpt: "This is a book about who we are today, and how we have become who we are. It is about the engineers of the modern soul, the entrepreneurial self. It is essential reading for all those who care about the incessant demands placed on us to become more than we are, to become entrepreneurs of our selves, to maximise and optimise our capacities in ways that align personal identity and political responsibility." - Professor Peter Miller, London School of Economics & Political Science Ulrich Bröckling claims that the imperative to act like an entrepreneur has turned ubiquitous. In Western society there is a drive to orient your thinking and behaviour on the objective of market success which dictates the private and professional spheres. Life is now ruled by competition for power, money, fitness, and youth. The self is driven to constantly improve, change and adapt to a society only capable of producing winners and losers. The Entrepreneurial Self explores the series of juxtapositions within the self, created by this call for entrepreneurship. Whereas it can expose unknown potential, it also leads to over-challenging. It may strengthen self-confidence but it also exacerbates the feeling of powerlessness. It may set free creativity but it also generates unbounded anger. Competition is driven by the promise that only the capable will reap success, but no amount of effort can remove the risk of failure. The individual has no choice but to balance out the contradiction between the hope of rising and the fear of decline. Ulrich Bröckling is Professor of Cultural Sociology at the Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg, Germany.
