Managerial women and the work‐home interface
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore whether empirical support exists for two commonly held beliefs about the work‐home interface: women, and particularly managerial women, are prone to “super‐mother” or “super‐manage” in an effort to balance both career and child‐rearing, and these demands diminish markedly when children reach school age. Design/methodology/approach Via a survey mailed to their home, 1,103 managerial and non‐manageria…
Are female supervisors good for employee job experiences, health, and wellbeing
Purpose Aims to investigate managers’ reports of their job experiences, wellbeing, and health outcomes as a function of whether they had either a male or a female supervisor. Design/methodology/approach Self‐report survey data were collected from male ( n =328) and female ( n =222) managers; these managers, in turn, had either a male or a female supervisor. Findings Consistent with the hypothesis, two (gender of participant) by two (gender of sup…
Les rapports de pouvoir, la productivité et la sécurité
Cet article affirme que les relations de pouvoir entre le capital et les travailleurs constituent des déterminants importants de la productivité et des conditions de santé et de sécurité au travail. L'argumentation est mise à l'essai d'abord au moyen d'une comparaison de la productivité et des conditions de sécurité dans deux usines d'automobiles qui ont connu des rapports de force très différents entre les travailleurs et le capital au milieu de…
Is Lean Mean
This article examines the relationship between workplace transformation (or restructuring) and the well-being of employees, in terms of both psychological and physical health, at a large manufacturing corporation in the United States. While the previous literature has been largely divided over the issue - some researchers providing unqualified enthusiasm and others equally strong criticism of workplace changes - we found, after decomposing workpl…
Surviving Layoffs
This article tests the hypotheses that the effects of layoffs on surviving employees' level of organizational commitment and job performance will vary according to (a) how close employees are to the layoffs, (b) their perceptions of the fairness of the layoffs, and (c) their position in the organizational hierarchy. Analyses were conducted on 1,900 respondents employed by a large U.S. company. Results indicated that although perceptions of layoff…
Work stress and problem alcohol behavior
Although previous research has found weak support for the model of stressful work ‘spilling over’ to negative coping responses during nonwork hours, we argue that a variety of conceptual and methodological problems may partially explain the weak and inconsistent findings. Two important shortcomings are inadequately specified models and a failure to consider nonescapist responses to job-related stress. We therefore propose that there may be escapi…
Industrial Work and Political Participation
We suggest that the ''simple political spillover'' hypothesis that participation in decision making at work increases the probability of participating in politics outside the workplace-ought to be respecified in such a way that it takes into account (1) the possible differential effects on political participation of direct and representational forms of decisional participation at work; (2) the possibility that the pathway between workplace and po…
Industrial Work and Political Participation
We suggest that the "simple political spillover" hypothesis—that participation in decision making at work increases the probability of participating in poli tics outside the workplace—ought to be respecified in such a way that it takes into account (1) the possible differential effects on political participation of direct and representational forms of decisional participation at work; (2) the possibility that the pathway between workplace and pol…
Work Alienation and Problem Alcohol Behavior
Using a sample of production workers from union, nonunion, producer cooperative, and employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) wood products mills in the Northwest, we test the general proposition that work alienation, defined as low job autonomy, low use of capacities, and lack of participation in decision-making in the workplace, is associated with heavy drinking and negative consequences from drinking. We find that the general proposition is suppor…
Safety at Work
An attempt to provide a theoretical and practical analysis of the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974 in the UK, and its central ideas of self-regulation and workforce involvement. The development and impact of the legislation and its practice in industry is examined
Workplace Democracy
Safety, Productivity and the Social Relations in Production
The idea that worker co‐operatives offer the possibility of increasing productivity without sacrificing workers' safety and health is investigated. Ten worker co‐operatives and four conventional capitalist firms in the Pacific Northwest plywood industry are studied. Co‐operatives have worse productivity and safety records than conventional firms. Lower productivity is due to the unexpected behaviour that emerges in co‐operatives relying heavily o…
Workplace Relations in the Economic Crisis
This study tests the hypothesis that recent changes in political direction in Britain and France would have changed the previous patterns of workplace relations in comparable automobile plants in the two countries. It finds that there have indeed been changes in the workplace balance of power and, as predicted, in productivity. Changes in the accident rate, however, are more difficult to interpret
