In almost any industry, the day-to-day lived experiences of workers
directly shape production processes. Those experiences are of
fundamental importance to a range of managerial concerns including
organisational behaviour and human resource management,
organisational safety and risk management, production systems, work
relations and change management. Yet they are too often overlooked
by the executives and managers who design management strategies. In
this book, Sizwe Phakathi addresses such issues head-on, providing
insights into the underlying social, human, managerial and
organisational processes that shape workers' orientations towards
reorganisation of work, production, safety, teamwork and work
relations. Through an in-depth study of a deep-level mining
workplace, Phakathi brings to the fore the realities of how work
processes shape the actions of frontline teams, production
supervisors and managers. He points out how these realities trigger
the informal work practice of making a plan, which is an
indispensable organisational tactic for production, safety,
teamwork and work relations in the mining workplace. In the
process, he highlights frontline miners' perspectives of managing,
balancing and coping with the competing demands of physically
challenging work, production, safety and team dynamics while at the
rock-face. This book will help practitioners, policy-makers and
researchers to understand the factors influencing work processes,
production, safety, teamwork and work relations - not only in a
mining workplace but more generally as well. The insights it
provides into the importance of day-to-day lived working
experiences will help them to improve organisational, employee and
team performance.
