The empirical findings of this investigation British car workers, the authors reported the then popular thesis of " gentrification " of the " high-earning worker " back and thus influenced the sociological debate on the " new working class " in the 1970s.

From the Lockwood momentous for sociological theory distinction between system integration and social integration comes (Social Integration and System Integration ), which was picked up by many sociologists, among them Margaret Archer, Anthony Giddens and Jürgen Habermas. He defines this term pair as follows: "While the problem of social integration are the parent or conflictual relationships of the actors of a system for debate, it turns the problem of system integration to the parent or konflkiktgeladenen relations between the parts of a social system. "

After Lockwood can be ordered or conflictual both social integration, as well as the system integration. Integration must not be identical with the same positive harmony or togetherness. With social integration, he generally connects the related actions of the members of society.
