About this title

Synopsis

This major new book examines the way in which employment is managed across organizational boundaries. It analyses how major public-private partnerships, franchises, agencies and other forms on inter-firm contractual relations impact on work and employment and the experiences of those working in these increasingly significant forms of organization. The book draws on a large and extensive body of research to show how various aspects of employment-pay, security, commitment, training, career development, gender, and worker voice-may vary under the influence of changing organizational forms and be shaped by clients and suppliers. It concludes by putting forward a number of areas in which policy might be re-examined.
