COMMENT COMPUTER‐MEDIATED WORK: THE EMERGING MANAGERIAL CHALLENGE

Abstract

The progress of industrialism has meant, in human terms, the development of an acute behavioral discipline at work. This discipline has involved the close monitoring of the body's physical efforts in the course of industrial production and extends to the demands imposed by the standards of civilité in the white collar bureaucracy. The quid pro quo that organized labor has extracted in return for work discipline has included shortened working hours and better wages — the dollars to make mass consumption possible and the time to enjoy the fruits of one's purchases.
