The Affluent Worker: Industrial Attitudes and Behaviour: 1 (Cambridge Studies in Sociology, Series Number 1) - Softcover
Synopsis
The affluent workers studied in this book, originally published in 1968, were employees of three major industrial concerns sited in Luton at the time. The three firms were selected as being amongst Luton's best-paying employers and also on account of their advanced personnel and labour relations policies. This choice enabled comparisons to be made between workers engaged in very different types of production system. On the basis of material from interviews and other data, the authors examine in detail workers' experience of their industrial jobs, their relations with workmates, and the nature of their attachment both to the organizations which employ them and to their trade unions. This study forms part of a larger project which was aimed at testing empirically the thesis, which was most prevalent 1968, that of the progressive assimilation of manual workers and their families into the pattern of middle class social life.

"The primary aim of this monograph is descriptive: to give some account of the attitudes and behaviour of a sample of 'affluent' manual workers in the context of their industrial employment. A secondary aim is theoretical: to examine how the attitudes and behaviour in question can best be explained and understood." "The affluent workers studies are employees of three major industrial concerns sited in Luton, a town which benefited faster and more consistently than almost any other in Britain from the economic progress of the 'fifties and early 'sixties. The three firms were slected as being among Luton's best-paying employers and also on account of their advanced personnel and labour relations policies. At the same time, this choice enabled comparisons to be made between workers engaged in very different types of production system. On the basis of material from interviews and other data, the authors examine in detail workers' experience of their industrial jobs, their relations with workmates, and the nature of their attachment both to the organizations which employ them and to their trade unions. Throughout the monograph the authors consider the results they present in relation to those of studies of more 'traditional' industrial workers, and also in relation to current theoretical approaches in industrial sociology. In a concluding chapter they review what appear to be the main implications of their research in both its theoretical and descriptive aspects." --- Goldthorpe: Official Fellow, Nuffield College, Oxford.
