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

该项目由一位人类学博士生进行，研究后社会主义背景下（捷克共和国）的产业工人和管理者如何追求影响经济“转型”到完全资本主义企业形式的战略。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过程中，工人群体来思考他们的工作和组织自己，以及这些如何，反过来，影响流程和目标在特定的企业。这项研究还将记录工人之间的政治过程，并确定权力和权威是如何在工厂内行使的。这项研究将有助于形成关于不同文化下工业工作的理论体系，并将为企业管理提供实用方法，以及为该地区的商业投资提供宝贵的见解。

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.
