Abstract
The paper presents the main results of a recent research which explores in depth some characteristics of social relations within and around the workplaces employing both Italian and immigrant workers. The study is founded upon two complementary standpoints: the Theory of Organizational Action, elaborated by Bruno Maggi, and Norbert Elias’ Theory of Established- Outsiders Figuration. In conclusion, taking into account the results of research, we illustrate some general principles on which migration policies should be based.
