This summary commentary explores the likely future directions of research and theory on the design of organizational work. We give special attention to the social aspects of contemporary work, the process by which jobholders craft their own jobs, the changing contexts within which work is performed, and the increasing prominence of work that is performed by teams rather than individuals.

Not what it was and not what it will be: The future of job design research

Unionization of Professional and Technical Workers

Excerpt] Established institutions that serve the interests of white-collar workers find themselves at a critical juncture. On the one hand they can foresee the potential to augment membership and influence. On the other hand, they confront the reality of reconfigured labor markets. Growth (and indeed survival) is contingent upon being able to adapt to the changing needs and interests of professional and technical workers. The combination of technological advances and alterations in the functioning of white-collar markets suggests strategic reconceptualization and institutional transformation. This chapter explores the attitudes of professional and technical workers toward their jobs and labor market organizations in search of information relevant to institutional transformation.

Unionization of Professional and Technical Workers: The Labor Market and Institutional Transformation

Der Arbeitsplatz eines Menschen hat enormen Einfluss auf seine seelische Gesundheit. In dem Katalog der ublicherweise genannten Faktoren, die zur Erklarung personlicher Auszehrungsprozesse im Arbeitsleben herangezogen werden, fehlt dennoch haufig der Blick auf den inhaltlichen Zuschnitt der Arbeitsplatze. Im betrieblichen Job Design werden zum Teil elementare Erkenntnisse der psychologischen Motivations- und Stressforschung ignoriert. Viele Jobs sind entweder zu gros oder zu klein, bieten kaum stellenubergreifende Kontaktpunkte, sind uberreguliert oder liefern insgesamt zu wenig Wachstumsmoglichkeiten. Die Wende der modernen Arbeitswelt vom isolierten Vollzeitarbeitnehmer mit konstantem Aufgabenzuschnitt zum multipel in vielfaltige Projekte, Aufgaben und Beziehungen eingebundenen „Self-Manager“ wird von vielen Organisationsgestaltern immer noch nicht in ausreichendem Mase berucksichtigt – genauso wie die zunehmend geforderte Dauererreichbarkeit im stand-by-Modus. Mogliche Abhilfe bieten Arbeitskonzepte, die die personlichen Handlungsspielraume erweitern und so einer monotonen Routine wie auch belastenden Fremdsteuerung entgegenwirken.
