Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Sociology - Work, Education, Organisation, grade: A, ( Atlantic International University ), course: Sociology And Organisations, language: English, abstract: Introduction Sociology involves a study of the social tendencies of people at work, as individuals or towards each other and the effects this behavior might have on the organization in terms of performance and success. According to Lambert, Stephen E. (2009) the study is mainly on people as a group rather than individuals. The actions and attitudes result in some behavior and observing these gives a character of the whole environment. Therefore an organization can create a strategy on improving or staying ahead of competition depending on the result of the research. Sociology of work involves analyzing or examining how the organization is managing through use of technology and how it has influenced the world to be a village. Technology has been changing fast and this has changed a lot in the industry creating a different perspective in terms of labor markets, work organization, managerial practices, and employment relations. This means that there is a change in how things are handled within organizations as relations are shaped by the environment and experiences of individuals. The behavior of employees or management is definitely shaped by the environment but at the same time the management is responsible for the structuring of its organization.
