About this title

Synopsis

Management of the employment relationship changed markedly throughout the world in the last two decades of the 21st century, and a major part of this change has been the extension of employee involvement and participation in the workplace. Modern management theorists and researchers of all kinds have commonly emphasized the importance of two-way communication and co-operation between management and labour in determining the success of human resource management (HRM) strategy and in maximizing workplace efficiency. Some researchers argue that employee participation and empowerment are progressive management practices which have universal benefits to performance enhancement, as opposed to most other HRM practices whose success is contingent upon the organizational context. This title explores these themes through an international collection of case studies, which are the outcome of a comparative project of the Workers' Participation Study Group of the International Industrial Relations Association (IIRA).
