Paradoxes of Labor Process Control

More about the book

Exploring the interplay between worker autonomy, social dynamics, and health outcomes, this book investigates how control over work, the safety climate, and relationships with co-workers impact injury risk and overall well-being. It critiques existing literature for neglecting the social context of work and emphasizes the importance of understanding power dynamics. By integrating labor process theory with epidemiologic models, it addresses the complexities of exhaustion and persistent pain, making it a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in injury prevention and workplace health.
