Conceptualizing Employee Participation in Organizations
The concept of employee participation is common to many different discipline areas in the social sciences. The form participation takes varies considerably depending on the discipline. On the one hand, it can relate to trade union representation through joint consultative committees and collective bargaining, to worker cooperatives or to legislation designed to provide channels for employee representatives to engage in some form of joint decision…
Participation Across Organizational Boundaries
The recent growth of inter-organizational contracting poses a significant threat to the traditional conception of employment. Where organizational boundaries overlap, it no longer makes sense to think of the employment relationship as a contract between a single employer and an employee. This article seeks to articulate the implications of this paradigm shift from the perspective of participation in organizations. It distinguishes between direct …
The Oxford Handbook of Participation in Organizations
The Oxford Handbook of Participation in Organizations discusses various arguments and schools of thought about employee participation; analyses the range of forms that participation can take in practice; and examines the way in which it meets objectives that are set for it, either by employers, trade unions, individual workers, or, indeed, the state. Employee participation encompasses the range of mechanisms used to involve the workforce in decis…
Performing for the 'Customer
Attempts to introduce a new managerialism into local authorities have taken place consistently and continuously over the last 20 years in an effort to secure lower costs as well as performance improvements. Most of this activity has involved the use of private sector providers. This paper reviews the development of a partnership between the housing department of a London borough and a large, private sector contractor that took over the running of…
PPPs and the Changing Public Sector Ethos
This article explores the extent to which a new contractual approach to delivering public services, through public private partnerships (PPPs), is transforming the traditional values underpinning the public sector ethos among both managers and workers. Drawing on two detailed case studies of PPPs - a Private Finance Initiative in the health sector and the outsourcing of housing benefit claims in the local government sector - we identify a range o…
Ambivalent Patriarchs
The notion of complementarity to analyse the relation between paid work and housework has had a limiting, and possibly misleading, influence upon understanding the persistence of inequality in the home. Through our interviews with a group of male shift working process workers, from three manufacturing firms, we explore their perceptions of their roles and relations at work and in the home. We focus upon their experience and interpretation of gend…
Look before You Speak
Over the last decade, many organisations have undergone substantial readjustments to their methods of operation and associated management styles. The concern to generate commitment and excellence through cultural transformation has become a dominant theme in management literature, where the language of cultural change has been used in the fashionable move towards greater customer-focus, quality orientation and empowerment of staff. These ideas ha…
A Review and Critique of Workplace Industrial Relations Typologies
Over the years, there have been a number of attempts to construct typologies of workplace industrial relations. Each of these typologies has been useful in helping us to differentiate between workplaces, but we have doubts about the comprehensiveness and applicability of these typologies, and concerns that authors do not justify why they have chosen to focus on certain variables to the neglect of others. The aim of this paper is to offer a review…
Understanding the Meaning of Participation
It is now generally agreed that there has been a growth in the extensiveness of employee involvement (El) in Britain in recent years. However, the value of this information is limited because many of the studies rely heavily on management viewpoints about the impact of El. Even when surveys of employee opinion are undertaken, however, the results are typically abstracted from the organizational context in which they are located. In this article, …
Japanisation
It should not be assumed that the Japanisation of British industry is taking place merely because of some similarities in contemporary practice. Drawing on evidence from the chemical industry, the authors illustrate how the development of industrial relations may owe more to tradition than to the influence of Japan
