From Marx to Hegel and Other Essays
|
|
|
London: Orbach & Chambers, 1971 The essays collected in this volume have for their common theme the philosophy of history, and more expecially the Hegelian-Marxist tradition. They go back to the Hegelian sources of Marx's thought, and at the same time seek to clarify some of the issues brought to the fore by the European cultural crisis which accompanied the two world wars of the present century. The rise of irrationalism, and the concurrent debate between empiricists and thinkers in the tradition of German idealism, appear in this perspective as different aspects of a transformation which European thought has undergone since the start of the century, and in particular since 1914. Communism and Fascism are seen as conflicting responses to this crisis.. First Edition. Hard Cover. New/New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

The Anatomy of a Strike: Unions, employers and Punjabi workers in a Southall Factory
|
|
|
London: Institute of Race Relations, 1967 Story of the strike at R. Woolf and Co (Rubber Ltd) in Hayes. Some 600 Indian workers went on strike for seven weeks. The strike was declared official by the TGWU, yet not only was no strike pay given to them (because they were coloured?) but also, even worse, no move was made by the union officials to have goods produced by scabs at Woolf's boycotted by workers at Ford or Vauxhall until the last week of the strike. There are 13,000 TGWU members at Ford, and the strike could have been much more successful if joint action of this sort had been initiated sooner. The weaknesses due to the isolation and self-sufficiency of the local stewards revealed themselves in this dispute too, for it was several weeks before the first collections in support of the strike were being taken in even the best organised local factories.

The Social Problems of an Industrial Civilization
|
|
|
London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1975 "Elton Mayo's (1880-1948) main contributions to management were his revelation of the importance of the human and particularly the social factors in industrial relationships, and of the immense difficulty of developing true scientific techniques applicable to the study of social behaviour. His most significant work was accomplished in the United States at the Department of Industrial Research at Harvard between 1927 and 1947. The Hawthorne Investigations, conducted by a team which he led with the collaboration of the Western Electric company and the financial support of the Rockefeller Foundation, were by far the most comprehensive study ever attempted of the attitudes and reactions of groups of workers under practical conditions. The material secured justified Mayo's new concept of the motives which influence industrial relationships. This concept was that logical, economic factors are far less important even in economic relationships than emotional and non-logical attitudes and sentiments. Moreover, of the human factors influencing an employee's attitudes and sentiments, the most powerful are those arising from his participation in social groups. Thus not only must arrangements for work satisfy the objective requirements of accomplishing the purpose towards which the effort is directed, but the arrangements will be effective only if, simultaneously, they satisfy for the workers concerned this subjective requirement of social satisfaction in the working process. The remedy Mayo proposed is that we should learn new ‘social skills'. "If our technical skills are to make sudden and radical changes in our methods of working we must develop social skills that can balance these moves by effecting social skills that can balance these moves by effecting social changes in methods of living to meet the altered situation. we cannot live and prosper with one foot in the twentieth century and the other in the eighteenth." [This change required] involves primarily a new concept of authority, as dependent not on the formal right to require action of others but on the degree to which individuals assent to orders. That in its turn depends upon "a co-operative personal attitude of individuals on the one hand and the system of communications in the organisation on the other". Above all we must learn to study actual social situations, not theoretical formulations, we must practise what Mayo called "the clinical approach".. First Thus. Cloth.
