Subsidiary autonomy over industrial relations in Ireland and Spain
基于爱尔兰和西班牙的大规模调查,检验了跨国公司子公司在工会参与和员工咨询等劳资关系政策上自主权差异的解释,发现制度效应、进入模式和新投资轨迹是关键因素。
This article uses two parallel large-scale surveys in Ireland and Spain to test explanations of the variation in the autonomy of foreign subsidiaries of multinational companies over industrial relations policies, in particular regarding trade union engagement and employee consultation. We bring together three strands of literature: home- and host-country effects, organizational context and international human resources structures. Our results call attention to the significance of institutional effects, along with mode of entry of the subsidiary and the trajectory of new investments.
