Labor process theory

Labour process theory (LPT) is a Marxist theory of the organization of work under capitalism. It examines how people work, who controls their work, what skills they use in work, and how they are paid for work. Researchers in critical management studies, organization studies, and related disciplines use LPT to explain persistent conflict between employers and employees in capitalist economies, with a particular focus on deskilling, worker autonomy, and managerial control at the point of production.
