Mettre en œuvre la négociation collective à plusieurs niveaux: Avantages attendus et conditions de réussite
Les auteurs passent en revue les données internationales sur les avantages économiques de la négociation collective à plusieurs niveaux, en montrant que les bénéfices attendus sont très incertains, car subordonnés à un ensemble de facteurs imbriqués. Ils estiment que, avant d'engager un processus de réforme institutionnelle, il convient de s'assurer que quatre conditions sont réunies: l'attachement du pays au dialogue social, une bonne compréhens…
Everything we do know (and don’t know) about collective bargaining: The Zeitgeist in the academic and political debate on the role and effects of collective bargaining
This article provides an overview of academic and public policy debates on the role and effects of collective bargaining. The motivation behind this article is that the academic and political debate is – and ever was – characterized by many controversies. It is explained that these controversies often arise because of different disciplinary, theoretical and empirical approaches. It will also be outlined how the empirical and theoretical debates i…
The cooperation between business organizations, trade unions, and the state during the Covid‐19 pandemic: A comparative analysis of the nature of the tripartite relationship
The COVID‐19 outbreak has led to an increase in social dialogue in general and, in particular, to an increase in tripartite cooperation between social partners' organizations and state authorities. This paper takes a critical look behind this cooperation and investigates the underlying rationales behind the tripartite cooperation in 19 countries. It is shown that even though the cooperation generally fulfilled its problem‐solving function, an exp…
Charting platform capitalism: Definitions, concepts and ideologies
The term ‘platform capitalism’ captures a dynamic set of new work modalities that are mediated by platforms and have been brought about through advances in Information and Communication Technologies, adjustments in consumption modes and preferences, and changes in how work is conceived. Beyond work‐related changes, the ascent of platform capitalism reflects wider societal and political as well as economic changes. While research on platform capit…
The role of the capability, opportunity, and motivation of firms for using human resource analytics to monitor employee performance: A multi‐level analysis of the organisational, market, and country c…
The digitalisation of business processes has led to the availability of (big) data which increasingly allows firms to analyse their workforce using HR analytics. On the basis of a cross‐national multi‐level analysis and a data set that covers more than 20,000 firms in all member states of the European Union we investigate the reasons why some firms make use of human resource (HR) analytics to monitor employee performance while others refrain from…

Négociation et performance: Une analyse exhaustive et précise de l'effet de différents systèmes de négociation sur la productivité des entreprises
S'appuyant sur des données représentatives au niveau des entreprises, disponibles pour l'ensemble de l'UE, les auteurs analysent la relation entre les processus et structures institutionnelles de négociation collective et l'évolution de la productivité du travail. Ils montrent que la nature du système de négociation a une influence marquée: certaines caractéristiques sont associées à une baisse de performance (notamment la présence d'un système d…
The effects of collective bargaining systems on the productivity function of firms: An analysis of bargaining structures and processes and the implications for policy making
In recent years, individual and company bargaining have increasingly supplanted sector and country collective bargaining leading to increasingly heterogeneous and perforated, that is, hybrid, national collective bargaining systems. Little is known about the relative effects of these different systems. In this paper, the authors derive and test a comprehensive categorization of collective bargaining systems and argue that different systems are ass…
The strange non-death of employer and business associations: An analysis of their representativeness and activities in Western European countries
Against the background that corporatism is on the decline in recent decades, one could expect that the representativeness of employer and business associations is also declining. In this article it is argued and shown that, contrary to this expectation, this decline is not observable for employer and business associations. So the question arises as to whether employer and business associations are simply relics of a different era with no longer a…
Variable Pay Systems and/or Collective Wage Bargaining? Complements or Substitutes
Whether collective wage bargaining impedes the implementation of variable pay systems is uncertain. The authors argue that much of this uncertainty is attributable to the fact that research neglects differences in the institutional structure of bargaining. Using representative company-level data for all member states of the European Union, the authors investigate the incidence of variable pay systems in general as well as pay types that include p…
Measurement and Analysis of Industrial Relations Aggregates: What is the relevant unit of analysis in comparative research
There is a long tradition in comparative research on industrial relations of analysis concentrating on differences and similarities between countries, that is, focusing on aggregates measured at the national level. But what happens if there are no (more) differences in industrial relations systems between countries? If there are not differences the question arises if comparative research is becoming meaningless? Concentrating predominantly on sta…

Labour relations, economic governance and the crisis: Turning the tide again
This article discusses the implications of the current economic crisis for the interaction of economic policy and labour relations. Its structure distinguishes between four phases of economic policy: Keynesianism; the conversion to orthodox economics; economic policy under accelerating market integration; and current crisis management. For each of the phases the impact of economic policy on the involvement of organized interests in public policy,…

Preconditions for pacts on incomes policy: Bringing structures back in
Corporatist theory assumes a close association between centralized structures of interest intermediation and policy concertation, but recent social pacts have occurred in countries without these structures. Recent literature has focused instead on the processes involved in negotiating pacts. We bring structures back into the debate, arguing that tripartite pacts on incomes policy are systematically associated with multi-employer bargaining which …
Labour Conflicts: A Cross-national Analysis of Economic and Institutional Determinants, 1971-2002
Research in labour conflicts crosscuts disciplines. Economists assign the incidence of labour conflicts to the economic development. The institutionalist camp is divided upon whether the power of organized labour or the industrial relations system is the main determinant of conflicts. All these approaches have run into difficulties when it comes to explaining the conflict patterns since 1970. Although empirical studies have combined economic and …
Towards Europeanization of Wage Policy: Germany and the Nordic Countries
Conventional wisdom regards wage regulation as uncoordinated across Europe. In relation to advanced economic integration, this implies a `suboptimal' wage area, which led to many conjectures about its consequences, ranging from disorganization of collective bargaining to adverse macro-economic effects. This article tests the wage linkages between Germany and the Nordic countries on time series data for the metal industry. The findings show that o…
Industrial Relations, Social Pacts and Welfare Expenditures: A Cross-national Comparison
Industrial relations and welfare state are interrelated. On the basis of time-series data for 20 OECD countries, this paper discusses and tests the impact of industrial relations on social expenditures, including ‘social pacts’ as a means of combining wage moderation and welfare state reforms. The findings suggest that industrial relations have an impact mainly through the differential effects of distinct bargaining systems: a minor impact result…
