The book addresses the discussion about the transformation of work as a shift from industrially shaped social contexts to newer forms of work such as service or knowledge work. The authors of the volume demonstrate that changes in work, organization, and technology occur as complex, ambiguous, and often ambivalent social processes, contributing to a nuanced and critical analysis of modern working societies. Featuring contributions from Christian Schilcher, Janis Diekmann, Sebastian Remer, Andreas Kaminski, Hartmut Hirsch-Kreinsen, Sabine Pfeiffer, Mascha Will-Zocholl, and Peter Kels.
