description: This text aims to redress the general neglect of manager and worker perceptions of skill through the presentation of empirical evidence from three case study organizations. This is used to construct a model through which to explain subjective perceptions of skill and the causal processes that shape them. This approach serves to shift analysis away from definitions of skill constructed by sociologists and towards a theory of skill that is grounded in the subjective definitions of those directly involved in production.
