Working in the Context of Austerity
Austerity was presented as the antidote to sluggish economies, but it has had far-reaching effects on jobs and employment conditions. With an international team of editors and authors from Europe, North America and Australia, this illuminating collection goes beyond a sole focus on public sector work and uniquely covers the impact of austerity on work across the private, public and voluntary spheres. Drawing on a range of perspectives, the book engages with the major debates surrounding austerity and neoliberalism, providing grounded analysis of the everyday experience of work and employment.
Human Resource Management at the Crossroads
This book contains a selection of theoretical and empirical studies that highlight a number of complexities and challenges for Human Resource Management (HRM) in organizations. It serves to illustrate the difficulty in explaining the role of human resources and the complexities implicit in the management of people working together, highlighting several challenges that HRM managers face today. Several chapters provide an accurate picture of relevant topics and issues, by putting together different approaches and levels of analysis that undoubtedly enrich one another. Contributions include theoretical and empirical analyses of how technologies impact on the future of work, employees’ well-being as a consequence of the application of high-performance work systems, the challenges of managing employees’ careers and employee diversity, and the issue of employees’ commitment, among other topics.
Speaking Up Or Staying Silent in Bullying Situations
A frequent prescription for providing voice for employees with respect to bullying is a policy supported by a procedural complaint mechanism. Yet research points to a pervasiveness of employee silence in workplaces in situations of workplace bullying. We examine the efficacy of workplace bullying procedures as a voice mechanism for employees in countering bullying and explore the role of management in shaping employee propensity to speak out against bullying utilising procedures. In doing so, we advance knowledge on workplace bullying by using an industrial relations perspective and placing employer control as a conceptual lens. Based on a large survey of nurses in Ireland, the findings demonstrate that managerial actions have significant influence on employees' propensity to utilise bullying procedures. The findings also provide some empirical support for the premise that management seek to use bullying behaviours to constrain employees' contestation of management decision making.

Trade Union Responses to Zero Hours Work in Ireland
