This Organisation of the Labour Process bundle within the A Level Sociology: Work, Poverty and Welfare unit (7192/2) gives students a critical and well-rounded understanding of how work is structured, controlled, and experienced in modern capitalist societies. The PDF summary outlines the key sociological theories and concepts surrounding the labour process, including Taylorism (scientific management), Fordism, Post-Fordism, Braverman’s deskilling thesis, and the impact of globalisation, technology, and flexible labour markets on workers’ autonomy and control. The resource also explores how gender, class, and ethnicity intersect with labour organisation.
The PowerPoint presentation visually presents core ideas and developments in the workplace, from the industrial revolution to modern gig economy jobs, with real-world examples such as Amazon warehouses, zero-hour contracts, and remote digital work. It helps students understand the relationship between employers, employees, and the state, and how power operates in the workplace.
To support analytical and exam skills, the bundle includes connectives worksheets and skills-based activities, such as timeline-building tasks, role-play on workplace relations, and evaluation scaffolds comparing pre- and post-industrial labour. A dedicated podcast episode explores changes in the labour process in the context of neoliberalism, automation, and the shift towards precarious employment.
The question bank provides a variety of short-answer and extended-response questions, including prompts like “Evaluate the view that the labour process has become increasingly fragmented and insecure” and “Assess the impact of technological change on the organisation of work.” An interactive quiz helps consolidate key terms, theorists, and historical developments in a fun and engaging way.
Altogether, this bundle gives students the theoretical depth, real-world application, and evaluative skills required to confidently tackle the Organisation of the Labour Process topic in exams and discussions.
