Findings – The paper indicates that scholars will need to put ethical issues at the heart of research on sensory tracking technologies in workplaces that aim to regulate employee behaviour via wellness initiatives. Practical implications – The study explores the legal issues around data protection and potential work intensification.
Social implications – Privacy and personal data protection, workplace discipline are discuss in this paper. Originality/value – This is an original paper. Since there is very little scholarly research in this area, it is important to begin to consider the implications of sensory technology in workplaces linked to wellness initiatives, given the probable impact it will have on work design and appraisal systems.
Keywords Regulation, Wellness, Quantified self, Wearable technologies, Workplace discipline, Workplace surveillance
Abstract: The concept of affect is still with us despite over-saturating a good swathe of recent research. This probably started with the post-autonomists (Hardt 1999 and Negri 1991, 1999), who have sought to revive the ontological dispute between Baruch Spinoza and René Descartes. In the 17th century these philosophers fundamentally disagreed on whether or not people are subject to an inherent separation of body and mind. The reworking of the concept of affect, sparked by autonomists in the 1960s and 1970s and then again by feminists, geographers, and other cross-disciplinary critical theorists more recently, has rekindled this old debate. Today, research on affect is closely linked to the resurgence of precarity. It can be empirically linked to the rise in globalising flexible labour conditions and increasingly exploitative relations of production in so-called post-Fordist conditions, particularly in cognitive and creative work.
Why is it still important to engage with philosophical questions from centuries ago? First, critical scholars continue to challenge the oppressive relations of production that drive the transnationalisation of capital and inform practice and outlook of the managerial cadre (van der Pijl 1998, 2012; Sklair 2001). However, the accompanying mutation of political economic models into new forms has not displaced the ontology of Descartes, which remains hegemonic. Cartesian thought invades la vie quotidienne in various ways, including the assumed separation of the market from society, the split between the economy and politics, the division of private and public and micro-level competition, and tensions between individuals.
