Abstract

An attempt is made in this paper to understand the different dimensions of the call centre as an emerging workspace. The paper provides a critical narrative of the profile of respondents (N=22), nature of work, work stress and impact on health, earnings, education, work-family interface and the socio-cultural alienation among the workers. It makes use of the respondents’ experiences and their reflections on their experiences to understand the various dimensions and impact of work in call centres.
