Industrial sociology, until recently a crucial research area within the field of sociology of work, examines " the direction and implications of trends in technological change, globalization, labour markets, work organization, managerial practices and employment relations to the extent to which these trends are intimately related to changing patterns of inequality in modern societies and to the changing experiences of individuals and families the ways in which workers challenge, resist and make their own contributions to the patterning of work and shaping of work institutions.

Moreover, in the course of economic development, when a new type of economy displaced an old type of economy — agrarian feudalism superseded by mercantilism, in turn superseded by the Industrial revolution — the rearranged economic order of the social classes favoured the social class who controlled the technologies ( the means of production ) that made possible the change in the relations of production.

* Industrial relations ( labor relations )

Industrial relations is a multidisciplinary field that studies the employment relationship.

Industrial relations is increasingly being called employment relations because of the importance of non-industrial employment relationships.

Industrial relations studies examine various employment situations, not just ones with a unionized workforce.

Industrial relations has three faces: science building, problem solving, and ethical.

Industrial relations scholarship assumes that labor markets are not perfectly competitive and thus, in contrast to mainstream economic theory, employers typically have greater bargaining power than employees.

Industrial relations scholarship also assumes that there are at least some inherent conflicts of interest between employers and employees ( for example, higher wages versus higher profits ) and thus, in contrast to scholarship in human resource management and organizational behavior, conflict is seen as a natural part of the employment relationship.

Industrial relations scholars therefore frequently study the diverse institutional arrangements that characterize and shape the employment relationship — from norms and power structures on the shop floor, to employee voice mechanisms in the workplace, to collective bargaining arrangements at company, regional, or national level, to various levels of public policy and labor law regimes, to " varieties of capitalism " ( such as corporatism ), social democracy, and neoliberalism ).

Industrial relations scholars and practitioners therefore support institutional interventions to improve the workings of the employment relationship and to protect workers ’ rights.

Industrial relations has its roots in the industrial revolution which created the modern employment relationship by spawning free labor markets and large-scale industrial organizations with thousands of wage workers.

Intellectually, industrial relations was formed at the end of the 19th century as a middle ground between classical economics and Marxism, with Sidney Webb and Beatrice Webb ’ s Industrial Democracy ( 1897 ) being the key intellectual work.

Industrial relations was formed with a strong problem-solving orientation that rejected both the classical economists ’ laissez faire solutions to labor problems and the Marxist solution of class revolution.

Industrial relations scholars have described three major theoretical perspectives or frameworks, that contrast in their understanding and analysis of workplace relations.
