• Financialization and the workplace: extending and applying the disconnected capitalism thesis (2013, background): “Taking both long term and financialization trends into account, ‘high performance’ work is largely an outcome of performance management and market discipline rather than internalized normative controls, discretionary effort and self-policing (McGovern et al., 2007).”
• Probing Precarious Work: Theory, Research, and Politics (2017, background): “Amid such uncertainty, some scholars have even cast doubt on the very existence of precarization as a major societal trend (e.g., Doogan, 2009; Fevre, 2007; McGovern et al. 2008).”
• Positive employee attitudes: How much human resource management do you need? (2013, methodology): “An analysis of national employee data (McGovern et al., 2007: 117−118) indicates that the main influences on whether employees see themselves as having a personal say in changes affecting their jobs are participation in two-way meetings or in quality circles.”
• Review article: Enhancing employability: Human, cultural, and social capital in an era of turbulent unpredictability (2010, background): “However, skeptics posit that the hype around employability exceeds its real value to job seekers (McGovern et al., 2007) or that the concept might be class-specific: employability is viable only for those who possess the requisite educational background, training, temporal freedom, and cultural capi”
• The hidden face of job insecurity (2017, methodology): “…growth in structural insecurity as a result of the growth of short-term contracts (Cappelli et al., 1997; Kalleberg, 2011); others have sharply contested this, arguing that, in the UK at least, there is little evidence of such changes (Gash and Inanc, 2013; Green, 2009; McGovern et al., 2007).”
• Understanding – and Misunderstanding – Social Mobility in Britain: The Entry of the Economists, the Confusion of Politicians and the Limits of Educational Policy (2013, background): “In fact, these biases may be less serious than feared (Erikson and Goldthorpe, 2010), and it is the second problem that must be regarded as the more serious: specifically, in that the transitory component in the family income variable for the 1958 cohort may well not be the same as in this variable ”
• The mobile phone, perpetual contact and time pressure (2009, background): “In their recent book McGovern et al. (2007) also note that there has been a steep increase in ICT-based monitoring of work, so that by 2000, over one-half (52”
• Trends in Intergenerational Class Mobility in Modern Britain: Evidence From National Surveys, 1972—2005 (2008, background): “Modified forms of both the basic labour contract and the ‘service relationship’ occur, as do mixed forms (Goldthorpe, 2007, vol.2, ch. 5; McGovern et al., 2007: ch. 3).”
• Class in the 21st century: Asset inflation and the new logic of inequality (2019, background): “Indeed, this view remains social science orthodoxy (see, e.g. Connelly et al., 2016; Lambert and Bihagen, 2014; McGovern et al., 2007).”
