Production Strategies and Practices in the Argentine Automotive Industry

Between Coercion and Hegemony

Control in the workplace is related to the ways in which capital makes the best use of its labor force and perpetuates its own dominance and reproduction as a class. Control strategies range from coercion to consent. An examination of the control methods employed by three firms in the Argentine automotive sector points to the importance of hegemonic control, which depends on the consent of the workforce and reduces the conflict inherent in worker-management relations.

Key Words: Control • Hegemony • Coercion • Work organization
