Abstract

Purpose

The 50th anniversary of Fox's Beyond Contract and Man Mismanagement coincides with another vital contribution to the sociology of work from 1974: Braverman's Labor and Monopoly Capital. This article analyses these two scholars' complementary approaches to job design and the extent to which Fox's ideas influenced subsequent labour process thought.

Design/methodology/approach

The article's methodological approach is a historiographical reading of Fox and Braverman's thought in the context of their times and later scholarship.

Findings

The article demonstrates that despite some noteworthy overlap with Braverman concerning scientific management, Fox's insights were marginal to later iterations of labour process analysis. It delves into the reasons for this relative neglect, providing an understanding of the dynamics at play.

Originality/value

This paper's value lies in its combined industrial relations and labour process historiography. It offers a fresh perspective on Alan Fox's relationship to the latter field of study.

劳动进程阴影下的艾伦-福克斯
目的福克斯的《超越契约与人为管理》问世 50 周年之际,恰逢 1974 年对工作社会学做出重要贡献的另一位学者:布拉夫曼的《劳动与垄断资本》问世 50 周年。本文分析了这两位学者在工作设计方面的互补方法,以及福克斯的观点在多大程度上影响了后来的劳动过程思想。研究结果本文证明,尽管福克斯与布拉夫曼在科学管理方面有一些值得注意的重叠,但福克斯的见解在后来的劳动过程分析中却处于边缘地位。文章深入探讨了这种相对忽视的原因,并提供了对其中动态的理解。它为艾伦-福克斯与后一研究领域的关系提供了一个全新的视角。
