The Subjectification of Knowledge Workers in Contemporary Organizations: A Sociological Analysis

Abstract

This sociological analysis delves into the subjectification processes experienced by knowledge workers within contemporary organizations. In an era characterized by rapid technological advancements and shifting organizational structures, the identity and agency of knowledge workers are undergoing significant transformations. Drawing on sociological theories, this study explores how knowledge workers are subjectified within their work contexts, examining the impact on their roles, identities, and well-being. Through a combination of qualitative research methods and empirical data, this research sheds light on the complex interplay between knowledge workers, organizations, and the broader socio-cultural milieu. By dissecting these subjectification mechanisms, we gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of work and its implications for both individuals and organizations.
