Distinctions are drawn between labour (the tasks we do in our jobs) and work (self-making activities that are carried out at the workplace): between the less than human, zombie-like laborer and the working human self. Nancy Harding argues that the experience of being at work is one in which the insistence on practising one's humanity always provides a counter-point to organisational demands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236224262295,"sku":"9780415579711","price":3486.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415579711.webp?v=1769212317","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/on-being-at-work-the-social-construction-of-the-employee-9780415579711","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
