Although sociologists have written extensively on the broad subject
of occupational careers, generally they have referred only
incidentally to organizational careers within work organizations.
In this pioneering sourcebook, now considered a classic, Glaser
gathered from the literature of occupational sociology those
studies that bear most directly on organizational careers. His
objective was to provide the first survey of the substantial body
of data on the subject and to place this data in a framework that
illustrates its significance for the development of theory. In an
extensive introduction, the editor explains the several purposes of
the book and describes in detail the process of comparative
analysis through which sociological theory on organizational
careers can be generated. Organized around general themes such as
recruitment, motivation, commitment, mobility, and succession, the
writings of prominent sociologists--including Riesman, Caplow,
Hughes, Becker, and Wilensky--form the content of the book and
systematically cover every important facet of organizational
careers. The editor's introductions to each section of the book
alert the reader to the general phenomena--such as processes,
conditions, categories, hypotheses, and properties--that crosscut
and are generally relevant to all organizational careers and are,
therefore, the raw material of theory. These introductions also
suggest questions and problems for further analysis and research.
This book as a whole stands as a demonstration of the contributors'
method of how the sociologist, working from the data of research,
can generate grounded, formal theory on this or any social
phenomenon. This book also presents a vital body of data on
organizational careers and a guide to further research that will be
of great use both to occupational sociologists and to all those
involved in the study of organizations.
