Despite growing research on technology’s impact on work, the institutional controls that materialize through and are embedded within technological systems remain under-theorized. These controls do more than discipline employees; they enforce domination across organizational fields by restructuring the possibilities for action. This study examines how technological systems exert control over workers outside formal organizational boundaries and how they respond. Drawing on a qualitative study of scooter repair artisans navigating the electrification of mobility—a climate-driven transition—we find that emerging technologies impose profound institutional constraints on artisans, even without formal subordination to manufacturers. While many artisans comply with or withdraw from these systems, some resist by leveraging craft-based expertise—a phenomenon we conceptualize as“craft as resistance.”These insights reveal how climate-technological transitions reconfigure the nexus of technology, institutional control, and the resilience of craft-based work. |
