Rövid leírás:
This book argues that technological developments in the workplace have 'quantified' the modern worker to the detriment of social equality.
Hosszú leírás:
The information revolution has ushered in a data-driven reorganization of the workplace. Big data and AI are used to surveil workers and shift risk. Workplace wellness programs appraise our health. Personality job tests calibrate our mental state. The monitoring of social media and surveillance of the workplace measure our social behavior. With rich historical sources and contemporary examples, The Quantified Worker explores how the workforce science of today goes far beyond increasing efficiency and threatens to erase individual personhood. With exhaustive detail, Ifeoma Ajunwa shows how different forms of worker quantification are enabled, facilitated, and driven by technological advances. Timely and eye-opening, The Quantified Worker advocates for changes in the law that will mitigate the ill effects of the modern workplace.
'Work is a meaningful part of our lives, in time and in quality. Yet, as Ifeoma Ajunwa's new book masterfully shows, our work lives are under almost totalizing surveillance, for the benefit of employers. With clarity and care, Dr. Ajunwa shows us the extent to which employers have insinuated into every second of our days. Her book teaches us what we risk in the face of worker quantification and offers a bold and morally rich plan for tackling it, for the good of all of us.' Danielle Keats Citron, 2019 MacArthur Fellow, author of The Fight for Privacy
