‘Frames of reference’ in Victorian England: What Elizabeth Gaskell’s North and South reveals about perceptions of the employment relationship
Alan Fox’s conceptualisation of ‘unitary’, ‘pluralistic’ and subsequently ‘radical’ frames of reference has been outstandingly influential in the analysis of industrial relations and human resource management since the 1960s. This article demonstrates, however, that these distinctions long predate Fox even though he popularised the terminology. Evidence that observers used comparable frames of reference to categorise perceptions of the employment…
Re‐connecting capitalism: Prospects for the regulatory reform of the employee interest in UK takeovers
This article draws upon the disconnected capitalism thesis (DCT) to analyse UK takeovers and their implications for workers. The DCT refers to the disconnect between the source of value creation (the labour process) and the wider political economy. Specifically, we highlight a particular aspect of this disconnect whereby those who create value and have a long‐term stake in firms (employees and managers at the firm level) are disconnected from dec…
Work always wins’: Client colonisation, time management and the anxieties of connected freelancers
This article focuses on ‘connected freelancers’ as a category of teleworkers and examines the pressures placed on their work‐home balance by their relationship with clients. Based on diaries, questionnaires and interviews, it reveals that, while connected freelancers do not generally work excessively long hours, they do work irregular hours. This is because ‘work always wins’ in a conflict with domestic commitments, a phenomenon the article dubs …

The article examines the extent to which reviewers feel that they have learnt and whether they consider any aspects of the programmes they have exam…
Managing Self-management: Successful Transitions to Portfolio Careers
Various economic and social pressures have, arguably, combined to effect a shift in both the reality and perceptions of career structures. Recent debates have centred on the extent to which traditional organizational careers have given way to self-employment for a client portfolio. This article builds on distinctions between 'subjective', 'objective' and 'organizational' careers to analyse how individuals manage the transition from a traditional …
Portfolio Workers: Autonomy and Control amongst Freelance Translators
Recent literature has begun to disaggregate groups of the `self-employed without employees' to examine in greater detail what determines their working conditions. This article continues this trend
Treatments of Missing Data: A Monte Carlo Comparison of RBHDI, Iterative Stochastic Regression Imputation, and Expectation-Maximization
This article describes a Monte Carlo investigation of 4 methods for treating incomplete data. Data sets conforming to a single structured model, but varying in sample size, distributional characteristics, and proportion of data deleted, were randomly produced. Resemblance-based hot-deck imputation, iterated stochastic regression imputation, structured-model expectation-maximization, and saturated-model expectation-maximization were applied to the…
