Delbert C. Miller and William H. Form chart the complex social structures that govern the modern workplace, from the dynamics of managerial hierarchies and worker collectives to the broader institutional forces of economy, technology, and class. This Second Edition expands upon its foundational arguments with refined sociological frameworks, drawing on empirical research to illuminate how work organisations function as social systems in their own right.\n\nMiller and Form write with scholarly precision and analytical clarity, grounding their arguments in the traditions of classical sociology while applying them to the realities of mid-twentieth-century industrial life. The book stands as a landmark text in the field, adopted widely across American universities for its comprehensive treatment of occupational structure, labour relations, and organisational behaviour. Bridging theory and practice, it challenges readers to reconsider the invisible social forces that govern every working hour — and asks what it truly means to belong to an industrial world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203178832091,"sku":"2026200014827-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6fb8d29c-b426-4837-8ce5-73e662d07a70.png?v=1788144900","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014827-secondhand-industrial-sociology-the-sociology-of-work-organizations","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
