Beschreibung

Specialization should make workers perform an ever-narrower range of tasks. Yet evidence shows that many specialized occupations have grown more complex. Michelle Jackson untangles this paradox, arguing that scientific investigation of social and industrial problems has changed the nature of work and burdened workers with new responsibilities.
