The non-union workplace in Australia: bleak house or human resource innovator?
基于1995年澳大利亚工作场所工业关系调查数据，比较非工会与工会工作场所的员工关系实践和结果，发现非工会工作场所创新性较低，解雇率和离职率更高，且合同、薪酬和谈判安排更偏向个人主义。
This paper compares the employee relations practices and outcomes of nonunion and unionized workplaces in Australia. It also examines the nature of those practices to ascertain whether non-union workplaces can best be characterized as human resource innovators or 'bleak houses'. The data for the study are drawn from the 1995 Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Survey. The findings suggest that non-union workplaces are distinctly less innovative in a number of their employee relations practices and in general have less favourable employee relations outcomes than unionized workplaces in terms of dismissal and turnover rates. The non-union workplace is also distinguished by the individualistic nature of its contractual, remunerative and bargaining arrangements.
