The Influence of Stock Market Listing on Human Resource Management: Evidence for France and Britain
基于2004年法国和英国的企业调查数据,研究发现股票上市与团队工作和绩效薪酬正相关,在法国还与员工自主权和培训相关,表明股东压力并未限制高绩效工作实践的采用。
Abstract We use data from the Relations Professionnelles et Négociations d'Entreprise survey of 2004 and the Workplace Employment Relations Survey of 2004 to analyse how far approaches to human resource management differ according to whether an establishment is part of a company with a stock exchange listing. In both countries we find that listing is positively associated with teamworking and performance‐related pay, while in France, but not in Britain, it is also linked to worker autonomy and training. Our findings are inconsistent with the claim that shareholder pressure operates as a constraint on the adoption of high‐performance workplace practices. The pattern is similar in the two countries, but with a slightly stronger tendency for listing to be associated with high‐performance workplace practices in France.
