An empirical study examining the types of social arrangements that promote stable employment relationships in a variety of organizational settings and arguing that these intricate arrangements provide a vital link of mutual rights and obligations between employers and employees. Based on the results of a survey of thousands of employees and their employers in a large, metropolitan labor market, the book concludes that bureaucratic employment relationships have the potential both to create dependence on and to liberate workers from the arbitrary decisions of managers and supervisors.
