Working Economics: Labor Policy and Conducive Economy in the Netherlands.Ton Korver - 2004 - Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 24 (5):441-445.details The conducive economy challenges both the conceptual foundations and the practices of present-day economies. In the Netherlands, a few initiatives during the 1980s and early 1990s looked promising, in particular, as these initiatives focused on work quality as one major precondition for reducing disability and enhancing labor participation. Prospects are less bright today. Ever larger slices of governmental monetary, financial, economic, and social policies become market oriented, as distinct from conducivity oriented. The instrument of the covenant, nonetheless, may prove worthwhile (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
The Social Behaviors in Conducive Production and Exchange.Robert A. Karasek - 2004 - Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 24 (5):457-468.details Conducive production (the concept developed in the first article of this issue) is a process of creative coordination in production, which also contributes to the development of the social fabric. To understand how, this article looks inside the conducive production process and examines how producer and consumer activities link together in collaborative dialogues. The conventional views of economic man are contrasted with this new view of productive human beings in the jazz economy. Jazz is used as a metaphor for the (...)

A Tool for Creating Healthier Workplaces: The Conducivity Process.Robert A. Karasek - 2004 - Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 24 (5):471-479.details The conducivity process, a methodology for creating healthier workplaces by promoting conducive production, is illustrated through the use of the “conducivity game” developed in the NordNet Project in Sweden, which was an action research project to test a job redesign methodology. The project combined the “conducivity” hypotheses about a combination of employees’ skills and the Scandanavian “dialogue-based” participatory practice. The goal of the conducivity game is to develop a flexible division of labor that enhances employees’ skills and facilitates development of (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 1 citation
An Analysis of 19 International Case Studies of Stress Prevention Through Work Reorganization Using the Demand/control Model.Robert A. Karasek - 2004 - Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 24 (5):446-456.details Nineteen international case studies of workplace stress prevention initiatives are analyzed. The focus of these cases, which span a variety of workplaces and locations, is on preventing stress through work reorganization rather than remedial approaches for stress relief. It is found that the majority of the occupations represented in the case studies can be categorized as high-strain jobs according to the demand/control model. Common trends in terms of why the interventions were initiated and by whom, the type of intervention chosen, (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
The Conducivity Model and Pragmatic Work-Change Programs.Helge Hvid - 2004 - Bulletin of Science, Technology and Society 24 (5):480-483.details The Scandinavian working-life tradition is founded on ideas and values similar to the model of conductivity. However, although the Scandinavian working-life tradition is pragmatic and consensus seeking the model of conductivity is stringent following its principles. The pragmatic approach, here represented by the Danish program of “the developmental work,” has made it difficult to follow the vision of the program (to improve working conditions and at the same time meet social and environmental needs). Instead, the program has mainly targeted organizational (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
