2HUMAN RESOURCE DISSERTATIONTitle: Extending Conceptual Boundaries: Work Voluntary Work and EmploymentIntroductionThe conceptual boundaries at the workplace create the significant impact on theemployees. The increasing complexity in the work environment has been excluding thevoluntary works from the sociological understanding of the work. The current work culturesignifies the implementation of the innovative procedures (Holdsworth and Brewis 2014). Thejournal article, Work, Employment, and Society discusses the conceptual form of sociology ofwork in extending the voluntary boundaries. Currently, the assumptions have taken place bydeveloping two different and discreet activities, such as unpaid domestic labour in the privatesphere and paid employment in the public sphere (Schulze 2015). The study would present thecritical analysis of the research process used in this journal article. The appropriateness or theshortfall of using the research approach and techniques would be analyzed in this study. Core Concept The conceptual analysis of ‘work’ is currently devalued by the theorists and researchers.It is assumed that the conceptual analysis of ‘work’ is constituted by two discreet and separateactivities, such as unpaid domestic workers in the private sphere and paid employment in thepublic sphere (Taylor 2003). The economic relations or the gender relation models areconceptualized as two different forms of work that creates the clear understanding among theindividuals. The study develops the ideas about the voluntary work environment, which signifiesthe epistemological problems visible at the workplace. It is necessary to re-conceptualize workbefore developing the concerns regarding the paid and non-paid working culture. The articlespecifies the historical construction of the conceptual dichotomy, which exists within the field of
3HUMAN RESOURCE DISSERTATIONsociology of work. Cobb et al. (2014) argued that the work-based theoretical models, such asgender model and economic models are mere concerns associated with the industrial capitals.The complete structure of the work identities and work practices determine the development ofthe working lives. The conceptual framework is structured to constitute the ideas of the socialtheorists who show their keen interests in developing innovative working procedures. Theconceptual framework describes the individual level that provides the glimpse of different formof labour. In order to express the situational aspects in work practices among the paid employeesin public sphere and unpaid employments in the private spheres, the research process has utilizeda particular form of methodology. Appropriateness of Using Research Methods (Techniques and Design)The research process is based on the work sociology visible among the people who workin both public sphere and private sphere. In order to derive the ideas about the work practices andculture, the study has followed the mixed method research. In this process, the interviewees havetaken participation in the qualitative session (Cousins and Robey 2015). The findings receivedfrom their discussions are presented in a form of secondary analysis. Some set of findings arepresented in the research study and the further section would establish the critical analysis basedon the appropriateness. In this research process, twenty-nine people took the participation in the interviewsession. The deductive approach is selected in this process to define their perceived values andassumptions regarding the work culture. Among those twenty nine employees, 13 people workedunpaid or paid at the ‘North End Community and Refugee Project’, which was located inLondon. On the other hand, the rest of the employees worked for a Home Counties branch of
