Work Matters brings together a strong collection of narratives from the ethnographic field to discover the reality of pressure and change in the modern workplace.

Chapter-by-chapter, experts in the field of work and employment examine empirical accounts and explain the forces shaping today's organisations through a critical, contemporary perspective. The result is a powerful compendium of voices that will provoke a reassessment of work trends and inform the future of policy and managerial practice.

Key benefits:

• Understand the real issues that affect modern worklife within global capitalism from a range of perspectives

• Evaluate key debates about work quality through a flexible, critical mindset and a social perspective

• Build a strong social understanding of work place issues through a diverse and international set of field accounts, from the UK, Europe, the US, Australia and New Zealand
