Globally, 2 billion workers are in precarious informal jobs without protection. The Nordic Model privileges co-determination and worker participation in employment relations which can foreclose precarity and the absence of protection. However, the growth of digitalization and algorithmic governance within the workplace raises questions about labour process, worker agency, co-determination, governance, power, surveillance, control, and representation in all parts of the world, including the Nordic countries. This interdisciplinary edited collection offers a unique combination of macro level and micro level analyses of digitalization, algorithmic governance and workplace democracy in the context of Nordic labour markets.
Including studies from the finance industry, hospitals, higher education, police, and journalism, this collection teases out similarities and differences across labour markets and employment sectors and seeks to reflect nuances in terms of worker autonomy and agency, transformation of professional discretion, modes of resistance, representation and co-determination, and employment relations. It will be of great importance to the scholars and students of labour studies, workplace governance, HRM and the sociology of work.
