Sociology of the Workplace

Paper Summary:

This paper proposes that the study of sociology is readily applicable to the workplace. Although sociology explores human society, the author contends that social arrangements found in the world also exist within human organizations. This discipline can tell us much about business structures and corporations.

From the Paper:

"Sociology, as most of us well know, is the study of human society and of the social institutions and arrangements human beings create. What is perhaps less well-known, however, is that sociology also tells us much about the business structures and corporations which define our contemporary world. For example, it seems logical to conclude that the same social arrangements which inform the world outside a large organization are the very same ones found inside a large organization - for the most part. Therefore, business or professional organizations in a patriarchal (or matriarchal) society can be reasonably expected"
