Theories Of Work Alienation

According to Marx, the worker is just the subject to the demands of the production process and has little control over the production. Having little control over the production causes these workers to work away from nature. Interestingly enough, Marx mentions that when the worker is “torn away from the object of his labor, he is unable to realize the essence of his creative nature or “species being” through his work” (p. 48).

Additionally, for Marx, alienation is one of the main reasons why capitalism leads to communism. In the capitalist context of the 19th century, work was alienated. Labour was treated as a commodity, in the sense that workers were exploited to produce as much as possible for as little as possible so that the bourgeoisie could continue to make profit while the proletariats lived and worked in poor conditions.

Working in an environment where your only motive to be there is your paycheck leads to dissatisfaction and poor work performance.

There is a variety of this throughout the work place. Some employees work very hard, while the other employees don’t care at all and are just there to get paid. This issue can have several root causes such as management, lack of job satisfaction, and even job enrichment. Management can play a role with lack of work ethics due to no leadership or enforcement in the environment. You may not be doing your duties everyday as an employee, and if it is ignored by the management then how will the employee improve?
