A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Sociology. Johannesburg, 1997. / This thesis is an investigation into worker responses to restructuring of work and production organisation in a South African automobile manufacturing company. The orgnnisation of work and production is analysed as part of managerial strategies aimed at promoting flexibility Worker responses will be conceptualized in a general model of worker subjectivity. Subjectivity here means the process through which workers make sense of changes in factory life according to regulative ideas and general moral and cultural constructions of the meanings of industrial work. I adopted a method based on observational research and semi-structured interviews with a group of workers, integrated by archival research and interviews with managers and union organisers, The results of my enquiry confirm hypotheses and theoretical frameworks critical towards the notion of flexibility as representing a clear divide with traditional "mass production" methods. In fact, managerial promotion of flexibility coexists here with relevant continuities in hierarchical and authoritarian structures, paternalism, lack of skills' recognition, use of technology as a mainly cost-cutting device, routinisation and lack of worker responsibility and independence.

Analisamos como a "nova" morfologia do capitalismo, resultado da recente globalização, reorientou ideologicamente os governos e a sociedade da maioria dos países. Isso levou à constituição de um "novo" metabolismo no ambiente de trabalho, gerando "novas" dimensões e formas de precarização para os trabalhadores. A dinâmica capitalista neoliberal intensificou a manipulação social, impondo culturalmente um comportamento consumista, individualista e competitivo para as novas gerações. Procuramos demonstrar como o incremento tecnológico e o método de gestão toyotista implementado pela empresa a partir do final da década de 1990 alinharam-se com o ideário neoliberal e influenciaram decisivamente na constituição do perfil dos "novos" trabalhadores que se caracterizam principalmente pela competitividade, individualidade, flexibilidade, polivalência, empreendedorismo e proatividade. Além disso, a reestruturação produtiva da empresa impactou negativamente a subjetividade desses novos trabalhadores, precarizando ainda mais suas existencialidades, levando-os a experimentar o estresse, a desesperança, o estranhamento e, por vezes, até o adoecimento físico e/ou psicossocial. / Abstract: The aim of this thesis was to analyze the main socio-metabolic aspects that influenced the determination of the profile of the young electrical worker of Companhia Paranaense de Energia. We analyze how the "new" morphology of capitalism, the result of recent globalization, has ideologically reoriented the governments and society of most countries. This led to the creation of a "new" metabolism in the workplace, generating "new" dimensions and forms of precariousness for workers. Neoliberal capitalist dynamics intensified social manipulation, culturally imposing consumerist behavior, individualistic and competitive for the new generations. We tried to demonstrate how the technological increment and the toyotista management method implemented by the company from the end of the 1990s aligned with the neoliberal ideology and decisively influenced the profile of the "new" workers that are characterized mainly by competitiveness, individuality, flexibility, polyvalence, entrepreneurship and proactivity. In addition, the productive restructuring of the company has negatively impacted the subjectivity of these new workers, making their existentials even more precarious, causing them to experience stress, hopelessness, estrangement, and sometimes even physical and / or psychosocial illness. / Doutor

This thesis, from a "locality studies" perspective, examines the impact of industrial restructuring and employment decline on the relationship between locality, gender and patriarchy at the household level in Windsor, a pulp and paper mill town in South-Eastern Quebec. A detailed questionnaire/survey was deployed in May and June 1987, during a period of massive reorganization and automation of production by Domtar Fine Paper Mill, the dominant local employer. The primary empirical focus of this work is on the household impacts of job losses, incurred directly or indirectly by this restructuring. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between gender, employment and income and how this relationship is manifested among the differing material circumstances of Windsor households, and to attempts to adapt to the socio-economic impacts of restructuring via self-conscious "coping strategies". A secondary focus is communal coping strategies aimed at combatting declining industrial employment. Findings indicate an exacerbation of economic polarization between economically stable households of the remaining Domtar employees and households enmeshed in unstable economic and employment conditions.
