SOC 4050 - Soc of Work& Organizations

Institution:

Weber State University

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

Work and organizations are two prominent features in modern societies. Our occupations in the organizations are our social identities for most of the individuals. Success or failure at work in the organizations reflects individual performance, but also influenced by coworkers, social interaction, set of skills, values, and bureaucratic structures of organizations. Many aspects of working life in organizations are also shaped by the structure of a society, such as age composition, racial, ethnic, gender and class division; and the distribution of power and authority in organizations. Technology and even social networking impact how work is done and how to and who get a job. This course will make these connections between micro and macro factors of work and organizations.
