Professional Power and Skill Use in the 'Knowledge Economy'

A Class Analysis

Beschreibung

This is the first analysis of professional classes, their differing job control and skill utilization. Professional employees especially face declining job control, diminishing use of skills and increasing barriers to continuing learning. The book is an original guide for further studies on professional classes, job design, and training.
