Dear Student
The purpose of this module is to facilitate a comprehensive sociological interrogation of how organizations distribute material and symbolic rewards. Rather than viewing compensation through a singular lens, this course encourages students to evaluate reward systems as complex social phenomena that can be understood through diverse and often conflicting sociological frameworks. By the end of this module, students will not only understand the mechanics of rewards but will possess the analytical dexterity to apply various theoretical models to real-world managerial challenges. The goal is to develop reflexive practitioners capable of navigating the ethical, economic, and social tensions inherent in the governance of human labour.
