Documented through in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis, Peter Sawchuk shows how the labour process changes workers, and how workers change the labour process, under the pressures of intensified economic conditions, new technologies, changing relations of space and time, and a high-tech version of Taylorism. Sawchuk traces these experiences over a seven-year period that includes major work reorganisation and the recent economic downturn. His analysis examines the dynamics between notions of de-skilling, re-skilling and up-skilling, as workers negotiate occupational learning and changing identities. 0aHuman services 0aSocial service 0aCivil service 0aPublic administration08iPrint version: z9781107034679 0aLearning in Doing: Social, Cognitive and Computational Perspectives.40uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781139540889zCambridge Books Online
