Control over work is a central concept in the sociology of work literature. Individual control over work, also referred to as job autonomy, entails that workers exercise choice and discretion over both substantive and procedural aspects of their jobs ranging from freedom at work to ability to schedule work. We can better comprehend differences in job autonomy by examining how both structural (occupational, organizational and authority relations) and demographic (gender, race, age, experience, education and family) forces can influence individual control over the substantive content and procedural terms of work.

520 $a Control over work is a central concept in the sociology of work literature. Individual control over work, also referred to as job autonomy, entails that workers exercise choice and discretion over both substantive and procedural aspects of their jobs ranging from freedom at work to ability to schedule work. We can better comprehend differences in job autonomy by examining how both structural (occupational, organizational and authority relations) and demographic (gender, race, age, experience, education and family) forces can influence individual control over the substantive content and procedural terms of work.
520 $a This dissertation seeks to better understand differences in job autonomy in the United States over a period of rapid change in the social organization of work. Since the 1970s, there have been dramatic shifts in the composition of the labor force, the degree of flexibility in organizational control systems, and composition of the occupational structure. In order to assess how changes in work structures and demographics impact job autonomy, I analyze this relationship at different points in time over a thirty-three year time period (1969-2002) by using ten data sets: The Survey of Working Conditions (1969), The Quality of Employment Surveys (1973 and 1977), Class Structure and Class Consciousness (1980), Comparative Project in Class Analysis (1991), General Social Survey (1991, 2002), and the National Study of the Changing Workforce (1992, 1997, 2002).
520 $a The drive for flexibility has had implications for workers' job autonomy. The increased education of labor force coupled with the post-Fordist emphasis on functional flexibility and slight shift of the occupational structure towards more complex jobs has led to a general increase in control over content for American workers. While there has been an increase in some measures of control over terms of work, such as deciding breaks, flexibility for family or personal reasons has remained steady and even declined for men over the past thirty years. This comes as a result of increased pressures on male managers to put long hours in at work, and a general intensification and extension of effort and time within the workplace for all workers.
