  • Public-Sector Labour Relations in an Era of Restraint and Restructuring

    Open AccessJohn B Kervin, John Kervin et al.ARTICLEThe Canadian Journal of Sociology2003

    This volume provides in-depth case studies of public service labour relations in Canada during the 1990s.

Viewed from a broader international context, as discussed in the concluding chapter, the casual suspension of bargaining by Canadian governments cannot…

  • Artificiality in Experimental Sociology

    Open AccessMurray Webster, John B KervinARTICLECanadian Review of Sociology/Revue…1971Cited by: 9References: 6

    Les auteurs démontrent que la critique du caractère artificiel de l'approche expéri‐mentale en sociologie est fondée sur une fausse compréhension des buts de ce type de recherche. A la lumière des objectifs de la recherche expérimentale, l'article examine sous tous ses angles l'objection de ≪ l'artificialité≫. L'avancé fondamental repose sur le fait que le laboratoire est un cadre d'observation parmi plusieurs autres ou la theorie abstraite peut …
