Abstract

At the risk of stating the obvious, social relationships are a functional requirement of getting any job done and coordinating work as soon as societies divide labour. This has been an established insight of both industrial sociology and human resource management (Thompson and McHugh, 2002). Sociologists of work have continuously discovered and rediscovered issues of power and conflict, but also of consent, of social exchange, intersubjective expectations and negotiations, norms and values. However, the common sense of recent debates on restructuring and fragmentation of work appears to be that market pressures, globalisation, restructuring and technological change corrode and individualise these relationships and patterns of social order (Bolton and Houlihan, 2009; Thompson, 2003).
