Resistance and Power in Organizations (Critical Perspectives on Work and Organization)

By John M. Jermier

This collection develops the theme of resistance from below in everyday organizational life. Building on a body of theory dealing with power, control and domination in the labour process, international contributors expand the analysis by focusing on material circumstances and subjective states that lead to subtle forms of subversion and sabotage, as well as to more overt forms of defiance and protest. Discussion is supported throughout by case studies, interviews, surveys and ethnographic data drawn from around the world, to reveal resistance practices which range from those hidden in the crawl spaces of organizations to those that are more public and demonstrative.
