Doctoral Dissertation: Variability and Control of Industrial Work Organization in the Post-Socialist Czech Republic

这个项目由一名人类学博士研究生进行，研究了后社会主义环境（捷克共和国）中的产业工人和管理人员如何采取影响向完全资本主义企业形式的经济“过渡”的战略。通过调查，访谈，并作为一名员工在工厂设置，学生将收集所需的数据来分析的过程，使工人群体来思考他们的工作和组织自己，以及这些，反过来，如何影响特定企业的过程和目标。该研究还将记录工人之间的政治进程，并确定权力和权威在工厂内是如何行使的。 这项研究将有助于不同文化中工业工作的理论体系，并将为企业管理提供实用的方法，并为该地区的商业企业提供有价值的见解。

This project by a doctoral student of anthropology investigates how industrial workers and managers in a post-socialist setting (the Czech Republic) pursue strategies which impact the economic "transition" to fully capitalist forms of enterprise. Through surveys, interviews, and as an employee in the factory setting, the student will collect the data needed to analyze the processes whereby groups of workers come to think about their work and organize themselves, and how these, in turn, affect processes and goals within specific enterprises. The research will also document the political processes among workers and identify how power and authority are exercised within the factory. This research will contribute to the body of theory regarding industrial work in different cultures and will provide practical approaches to enterprise management as well as valuable insight to business ventures in the region.
