Work transformation problem

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term transformation problem in work is generally understood to mean the difficulty of optimally converting abstract work potential that exists in people into actual , measurable work performance. The transformation problem goes back to Karl Marx and his "distinction between labor and labor". The transformation of labor into labor first becomes a problem due to three main factors: first, the divergence between purchase and consumption of the commodity labor, second, the relative incompleteness of the employment contract, and third - more or less - the conflict of interests between employees and capital. In particular, the contractual uncertainty gaps, according to Marrs, bring the "sociological, non-contractual conditions into focus". The transformation problem becomes, among other things, the linchpin of controlling the work process.
