Voice and Involvement at Work
Book (italiano):
<P>Nonunion employee representation (NER) has become a much discussed topic in the last decade in the fields of human resource management, employment relations, and employment/labor law. Two reasons account for this. The first is the long-term and cumulatively substantial decline in trade union membership and density in most countries – for many decades the traditional form of worker representation – and, hence, a burgeoning interest among practitioners, policy-makers, and academics in discovering and evaluating alternative forms of worker representation, particularly in non-union settings. The second important motive is the increasing emphasis companies are giving to enhanced methods of employee involvement, participation and voice, particularly when embedded in what is now popularly called a "high performance work system" model of employment. This book examines the purpose, structure, and performance of various types of employee representation bodies created by companies in non-union settings to promote collective forums for voice and involvement at the workplace. </P><P></P><P>This unique volume presents the first longitudinal evidence on the performance, success, and failure of NER plans over an extended time period. It examines the long-run track record of NER – a critical issue because one of the major criticisms of NER plans is that they quickly "flame-out." Consisting of twelve detailed, in-depth case studies of actual NER plans in operation, <EM>Voice and Involvement at Work</EM> captures an unequalled international and comparative perspective through a wide cross-section of different NER forms.</P>
