Działalność organizacji społecznych w środowisku młodych pracowników przemysłu
Abstract
The article contains an attempt at showing mechanisms and
tendencies concerning the operation of social organizations in
the working youth environment, which led to the questioning of
the existing institutional forms monopolizing the social activity.
The analysis is based on results of empiric studies on social
involvement of young industrial workers (between 18 and 30 years of age).
The obtained results show that the social involvement before
August 1980 represented a function of the place held by particular
categories of young workers in the formal structure of an
industrial company. The easiest “access" to social-type activities
had young “managers" (the so-called medium-level technical
supervision i.e. foremen, managers of sections etc.), the smallest
one - workers with poor qualifications and poor educational
background. The fact that activities of social organizations were
based on the medium-level technical supervision was, in our
conviction, a result of excessive growth of the mobilization function
of organizations in an industrial company.
Such mechanism of functioning of organizations accounted for
the fact that membership in organizations in relation to executive
workers, and especially qualified and white-collar workers
not only did not represent a platform for their subject status
out, on the contrary, it inpreased their feeling of being objects.
Both in production sphere and in organizations they were
allocated exclusively the executive role.
