Dignity at Work

by Randy Hodson

Working with dignity is a fundamental part of achieving a life well-lived, yet the workplace often poses challenging obstacles because of mismanagement or managerial abuse. Defending dignity and realizing self-respect through work are key to workers' well-being. In this book Randy Hodson, a sociologist of work and organizational behavior, applies ethnographic and statistical approaches to this topic, offering both a richly detailed, inside look at real examples of dignity in action, and a broader analysis of the pivotal role of dignity at work.

[Althea Mcintosh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ingenious application of mixed-methods approaches to a close review of numerous ethnographies. Stirring and lucid, if less fiery than might be hoped for.
