Computerisation: Software and

the Democratisation of Work

as Productive Power

Nadine Müller

The productivity-enhancing effect of industrial cooperation and the division of labour, which includes the separation of intellectual and manual labour and the contradistinction between management and task execution, is being lost in the process of computerisation. Yet current conditions are preventing a new form of cooperation from developing and thus the productivity of computerisation from being unleashed; instead, compromises in work organisation are being implemented that are marked by contradictions and have a negative impact on the quality of working conditions. Labour is becoming precarious and being intensified, while the possibilities for workers’ self-organisation and democratic participation are only very limited.1
