Meaningful voice during university restructuring
The study examines how employee voice is exercised during a university restructuring. The investigation focuses on the consultation process outlined in the enterprise agreement (EA) and the employer’s obligation to consult under Australian legislation. The research centres on a regional university in Australia that consolidated its five faculties into three colleges in 2020. This consolidation led to job losses and impacted both professional and …

Internal and external factors enhancing knowledge acquisition and digital literacy for digital business transformation
Small business digital transformation remains insufficiently examined, particularly in emerging markets. Prior research has largely concentrated on large enterprises or specific technological implementations and has predominantly adopted a factor-based approach, offering limited insight into how internal and external drivers are translated into digital transformation outcomes. Addressing this gap, this study develops a mechanism-based framework i…
Attracting, developing and retaining staff in regional local government
Attracting and retaining a skilled workforce is a challenge for the regionally based Local Government (LG) sector. These challenges are multifaceted and include skill shortages, uncompetitive wages, limited career progression, and accessing suitable professional development opportunities and training programmes. To overcome these challenges, the regional LG sector will need to develop a regional and sector-specific set of human resource managemen…
A Decade of Industrial Relations Research in Sub‐Saharan Africa
This review paper examines the state of IR research in SSA and establishes a future research agenda—a context that has had limited coverage in global IR literature. Following the Preferred Reporting Items method for conducting Systematic reviews and Meta‐Analyses, we reviewed 52 IR studies published in 43 journals between 2013 and 2023 that covered 16 countries in SSA. Analysis of the studies revealed five core areas of IR research: union militan…

Impact of Partnered Pharmacist Medication Charting (PPMC) on Medication Discrepancies and Errors
Medication errors are more prevalent in settings with acutely ill patients and heavy workloads, such as in an emergency department (ED). A pragmatic, controlled study compared partnered pharmacist medication charting (PPMC) (pharmacist-documented best-possible medication history [BPMH] followed by clinical discussion between a pharmacist and medical officer to co-develop a treatment plan and chart medications) with early BPMH (pharmacist-document…

Decent work for sustainable development in post‐crisis Nepal
Although the Decent Work agenda has received significant attention in the context of sustainable development, the formulation and implementation of appropriate social policies in developing countries remain an underexplored subject. This article responds to this gap and traces country‐specific Decent Work related policies and programs in Nepal—which is recovering from two major crises: a decade‐long armed conflict that ended in 2006 as well as th…

Addressing human resource development challenges in Indonesia
The findings and recommendations across the chapters are presented and discussed. A summary table identifies the HRD focus of each chapter, identifies the key stakeholders and summarises the findings. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the limitations of the collection and suggests areas for future research
Flexible Work Organizations
Contemporary contestations over working time
The study posits that time is a key mechanism through which particular forms of labour market policies impact health. The labour market flexibility agenda appears to be operating as a time re-distributive device: it has supported the removal of regulations that governed 'the when' of working time and removed limits over the amount of working time, thus extending by many hours the notion of the 'standard' working week and forcing employees to adap…
The Product-Price Nexus and Social Relations
Comparative ethnographic research between Frank's Bar, in Melbourne, Australia, and Freddy's Bar, in New York, reveals that the relationship between products and their prices is inversely correlated to the level of social interaction between patrons and bartenders. This is demonstrated by way of comparing the Product-Price Nexus (PPN), an analytical tool that outlines the relationship between prices and products, with the level of social engageme…
Voices from higher up the ladder
This paper focuses on an under‐researched employee category in the call centre literature—the team leader. The paper, drawing on data from nine A ustralian call centres, finds that the team leader role is integral to the effectiveness of call centres, yet it is a role that consists of considerable complexity and contradictions. The research demonstrates the critical role performed by team leaders: coach, mentor, trainer, performance evaluator, co…
Monasticism as a Force for Religious and Cultural Renewal in Post-Communist Russia
The Russian Orthodox Church is actively seeking to shape the national identity of post-communist Russia. Monasteries have taken a leading role in articulating the church's social vision, but with different emphases. The Solovetskii Monastery commemorates the victims and martyrs of communist repression. The Sretenskii Monastery focuses on popular religious education. The monks at St. George's Parish engage in drug rehabilitation work. Each approac…
Poland, 1980–1984
The late Francis Stuart, the first Australian Ambassador to be resident in Poland, wrote an interesting book about his long career in the Foreign Service. Towards Coming of Age was published in 1989 and Stuart's reflections on his last post abroad, to Poland, included the following: It is fanciful to believe that the Soviet leadership would ever question the infallibility of their official doctrine or relinquish the glacis of subordinate states p…

Affirmative action or managing diversity
Equal employment opportunity policies were introduced in Australia in the 1980s in response to women's disadvantaged workforce position. Australia's unique form of affirmative action was underpinned by legislation, and aimed to promote gender equity in the workplace via employer action. Throughout the 1990s there has been a policy shift away from collectivism towards individualism, and away from externally driven social programmes at the workplac…

Casual Employment in Australia and Temporary Employment in Europe
Labour market analysis conventionally distinguishes amongst employees according to whether their contract of employment is ‘permanent’ or ‘temporary’. The permanent contract of employment, best understood as a contract for an indefinite term, is the central form. It has served as the crucial pivot in the development of ‘industrial citizenship’ during much of the twentieth century. Most advanced capitalist societies, apart from isolated exceptions…

Job Security in Australia
An examination of the discussion surrounding aspects of job security in Australia in light of the apparently conflicting evidence and interpretations of the prevailing trends. Notions of job security need to move beyond the narrow perception of a link to actual or expected job duration. After a discussion of why job security is of policy interest, the various definitions and interpretations of the concept are reviewed. This leads to a considerati…

The Accord, Wages Policy and Social Security
The Accord remains the key policy commitment of the Government. Whilst the operation of the Accord encompasses many policy areas, in practice the Accord has been fundamentally a wages policy. As such, other policy commitments of the Accord, such as those in the area of social security, have become secondary to the maintenance of a sustainable wages policy which produces the ‘correct’ macroeconomic outcomes. In this context two ‘objective’ social …
