The fallible manager: The critique of management within pluralist industrial relations
本文基于Willy Brown等学者的研究,揭示了多元主义劳资关系传统中对管理的批判,认为经理人易犯错且需国家干预才能纠正,但管理本身并非不合法,在改革后仍可创造共享价值。
Abstract This article uses the work of Willy Brown, John Purcell, Linda Dickens, and Keith Sisson to identify the critique of management within pluralist industrial relations. The notion of the ‘fallible manager’ captures the essence of this critique. Within the pluralist tradition, fallible managers are identified as the source of industrial relations problems and are also deemed incapable of reversing the harms they cause in the absence of supportive state intervention. While managers are deemed fallible in the pluralist tradition, however, management typically is not regarded as illegitimate and in a reformed institutional context is capable of managing for the common good, to generate ‘shared value.’
