Papers by Mike Berrell
Tremendous changes in the world of work occurred since the publication of The Nature of Work (Berrell, 1994) 30 years ago. In just a few decades, advances in computer technology significantly impacted the types of work we do, the design of our workplaces, how we communicate with each other, and the nature of work itself. The seemingly unstoppable march of computers and mobile devices into our daily lives coupled with the rapid development technologies embedded with artificial intelligence is truly astonishing.
Key Words: Sociological paradigms, the research process, Ritzer, Durkheim, Weber, Skinner, Freud, Lacan, Kuhn, functionalism, conflict theory, psychoanalysis, social facts, interpretive understanding, behaviorism
