Digitisation of R. Brown Orientation to Work and Industrial Behaviour of Shipbuilding Workers 1968-1969; Manual Workers' Questionnaires

The project had the following aims: to provide a sociologically relevant description of shipbuilding workers as a particular occupational category, and to compare their attitudes and behaviour with those of workers in other industries of which there are sociological studies; to consider two sets of factors which influence the attitudes and behaviour of shipbuilding workers and to assess their relative importance: the technology and organisation of production in a “craft” industry, and the “orientation to work” of workers coming from traditional working class communities.
