Preferred term

aesthetic labor  

Definition(s)

  • Although the physical appearance of employees has always mattered, the importance of looks has become more salient recently, as employers have sought to control and transmute their employees’ looks. Aesthetic labor is a relatively new concept that has quickly gained traction as an explanation for this workplace development. [Source: Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia; Labor, Aesthetic]
