The author emphasizes his conviction that a man's work is a clue to the course of his life, to his social being and identity; that his work influences his social outlooks and attitudes. These thirteen papers are concerned with the social/psychological rather than the organizational aspects of work, with the professional and would-be professional rather than the industrial and bureaucratic occupations. They discuss the ideas which grew out of Professor Hughes' studies on the organization of work and the nature of work experience.
Men and Their Work
In this recognized classic of sociology and the study of labor and the professions, Everett C. Hughes detailed his conviction that a person's work is a clue to the course of his or her life, defining one's social being and core identity. He also argued that work influences a person's social outlooks and attitudes, even across class, gender, and racial lines. The thirteen papers collected in this volume, and much cited over the years and today, explore the social and psychological aspects of work rather than the technical and organizational aspects found in other research, and study the professional and near-professional actor, among other labor roles, rather than the more typically cataloged industrial and bureaucratic occupations. The chapters include the ideas that grew out of Hughes' studies on the organization of work, conceptually, and the nature of the work experience.

It is now presented in modern format by Quid Pro Books, a leader in the classic-republication world of academic books.
