title = {Who can you trust? The Swedish Confederation for Professional Employees (TCO) and trust-based working time 1950-1970},
year = {2015},
note = {This article aims to provide a historical perspective to the emergence
of trust-based control systems in the workplace. These systems are
often seen as a response to increased flexibility requirements
following the progress of digital technology, globalisation and an
increased knowledge content in production. In contrary to this
opinion, it is argued in the article that the phenomenon has much
longer historical roots. Based on a theoretical discussion of the
concept of "trust", the article discusses the Swedish Confederation
for Professional Employees, TCO’s, approach to working time
regulation in the 1950s and 1960s. Through a discourse analytical
approach, the article demonstrates that professional employees felt
that trust-based elements were important in their professional
identity. They were people that you could trust!},
