Networked Labour University - Ağdaşık Emek Üniversitesi

From networkedlabour.networg.nl - May 8, 2015 3:55 PM

Networked Labour University is designed as an educational module to be
integrated with a broader network composed of Global Networked Labour
Union, Networked Labour Research units and networked labour coop GNLU.
Tied to a greater ecology of universal, free and open access community
projects, such as Faircoop, the Earth Cooperative, all our projects aim
mutual empowerment at the bottom level.

Unconditional empowerment of the dis-empowered, excluded, and oppressed
with direct solidarity is the reason why we exist for. Our platform is
designed to liberate knowledge from alienation and domination of any
kind at the point of production and distribution. In order to enable
money-free access to most essential cultural resources we rely on
free/libre, open source software, but the platform also aims to
facilitate broader solidarity economy by encouraging and enabling
open-cooperative exchanges between participants.

Do Networked Workers Have More Control? The Implications of Teamwork, Telework, ICTs, and Social Capital for Job Decision Latitude

From abs.sagepub.com - December 3, 2014 4:36 PM

The shift toward “networked work” in the United States—spurred on by globalization, technological changes, and the reorganization of work activities—has important consequences for job quality that require further investigation. Using nationally representative data from the 2008 Networked Worker Survey, we examine how teamwork, telework, and information and communication technology use are associated with, and positively and significantly predict, job decision latitude (autonomy and skill development). The results imply that networked work helps enhance job decision latitude partly through greater network connectivity (social capital). Furthermore, the contribution of information and communication technology use to job decision latitude is contingent on its perceived benefits and on the organization of work into teams. These findings therefore help deepen our understanding of how the changing character of work affects worker control in contemporary workplaces.
