ENTERPRISE WITHOUT UNIONS: THE MANAGEMENT OF EMPLOYEE RELATIONS IN NON‐UNION FIRMS
研究了英国东南部高科技产业非工会企业中的员工关系管理,发现人力资源管理只是其中一种方式,并非主导。
ABSTRACT Employee relations in non‐union settings remain largely uninvestigated by industrial relations researchers. This article examines the management of employee relations in establishments in high technology industries in the Southeast of England ‐ a sector and locality frequently identified with high levels of non‐unionism. Moreover, high technology firms are frequently seen as exemplars of new human resource management techniques designed to substitute for unions. Our data from postal and interview surveys of 115 establishments suggests that HRM is only one, and by no means the dominant, approach to managing employee relations in high technology establishments.
