Transformacija organizacija rada u procesima globalizacije: uticaj novoliberalne ideologije
Transformation of Organisations of Work in the Processes of Globalisation: Influence of Neo-Liberal Ideology

Summary/Abstract: In sociology of organisation, as a special branch of sociology of work, prevailing opinions today are those that do not separate organisation of work from globalisation processes. No matter whether globalisation processes are seen from optimistic, pessimistic, or sceptical point of view, the fact that globalisation processes do exist in modern societies and that they do influence transformation of organisation of work is not disputable. Globalisation processes imposed distribution of risk, instead of earlier interior processes, which were happening within the frame of distribution of goods (and services) among agents in processes of work. Transformation of organisation of work has been happening in the direction of becoming more changeable, adaptable and temporary. Although on the path of transformation of organisation of work resistance can be seen, which come from prevailing bureaucratic structures and relations, globalisation processes “put” into them some dominant neo-liberal values. As value basis of these processes are mostly seen in the form of neo-liberal ideology, its influence to transformation of organisation of work cannot be neglected; behind each ideology is a function of “protection” of certain social agents. Neo-liberal ideology “makes sense” of changes of organisation of work in the way that it gives them legitimacy of “promoters” of globalisation processes, in the centre of which is the struggle for profit on the international market. This is the reason why globalisation processes appear as a good (international) frame for spreading of neo-liberal ideology, as like in economicaly high developed societies as in societies of post-socialistic transition. Neo -liberal ideology does not care much for characteristics of other aspects of work, which concern content of work and position of agents of work in its organisation. In accordance with neo-liberal ideology, today we can identify some influences of globalisation processes to organisation of work: organisation is getting smaller, more equal distribution of power in organisation and cutting off “auxiliary” functions of organisation.
