STRIKE PROPENSITIES AT THE BRITISH WORKPLACE
利用1980年英国工作场所工业关系调查数据，分析工作环境各方面对罢工及工业行动概率的影响，发现正式程序可能制度化冲突而非减少冲突。
The article presents a study using data from the Department of Employment/Policy Studies Institute/ESRC Workplace Industrial Relations Survey of 1980 in Great Britain in order to investigate the relative importance of various aspects of the workplace environment on increasing the probability of strikes and industrial action in general. The data set used allows for differentiation between various forms of industrial action in both manufacturing and non-manufacturing sectors. The findings presented suggest that additional formal procedures may not necessarily reduce accidents, but may actually represent an institutionalization of conflict. The authors note that such formal procedures may be useful and necessary in resolving already extant disputes, but do not prevent the disputes from arising in the first place.
