Comparative Workplace Employment Relations (eBook, PDF)

An Analysis of Practice in Britain and France

Redaktion: Amossé, Thomas; Petit, Héloïse; Forth, John; Bryson, Alex

Beschreibung

This comprehensive study provides a perceptive portrait of workplace employment relations in Britain and France using comparable data from two large-scale surveys: the British Workplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS) and the French Enquête Relations Professionnelles et Négociations d'Entreprise (REPONSE). These extensive linked employer-employee surveys provide nationally-representative data on private sector employment relations in all but the smallest workplaces, and offer a unique opportunity to compare and contrast workplace employment relations under two very different employment regimes. An insightful read for all academics and students of employment, the findings also have implications for practitioners and policy-makers keen to identify and promote "best practice".

Rezensionen

"This book offers a substantial contribution to comparative employment relations at the workplace level in France and the UK. ... the authors show a particularly open scientific approach by indicating routes to access the raw data they have used in a detailed appendix. They also provide a rich bibliography for each chapter allowing the immediate resituation of each set of data in the context of actual debates. A very stimulating and productive read!." (Sylvie Contrepois , Work, Employment and Society, Vol. 33 (2), 2019)

"This study represents the first attempt to provide a comprehensive comparatively informed overview of employment relations, practices and outcomes. To that end, the work achieves considerable success, providing a resource which will prove invaluable for lecturers, researchers, and, of course, policy-makers. ... The book and these resources will surely both stimulate and aid further comparative research." (Duncan Adam, Transfer, Vol. 23 (1), 2017)
