Employee Representation in Non-union Firms
Are non-union systems of representation an acceptable alternative to union-based systems? Or do they in fact complement more traditional forms of union representation? This book is the first of its kind to consider these and other challenging questions. Employee Representation in Non-Union Firms offers a comprehensive overview of this practice in the UK and locates this within an international context.
Partnership at Work
The 'Partnership at Work: The Challenge of Employee Democracy' essays revitalise the debate about employee democracy, consultative managerialism and partnership at work. An exciting feature of 'Partnership at Work' is its coverage of recent developments in Europe, the US and New Zealand. Edited by Paul Gollan from the London School of Economics and Glenn Patmore from the University of Melbourne, it offers fresh perspectives for anyone with an interest in business, employment relations, human resource management, law or politics.
Voice and Involvement at Work
In the last decade, nonunion employee representation (NER) has become a much discussed topic in the fields of human resource management, employment relations, and employment/labor law. 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. This unique volume presents the first longitudinal evidence on the performance, success, and failure of NER plans over an extended time period. Consisting of twelve detailed, in-depth case studies of actual NER plans in operation across four countries, this volume provides unparalleled evidence on such matters as: the motives behind the initial establishment of NER, different organizational forms of NER in industry, key success and failure factors over the long-term, pro and con evaluations for employers and employees, and more. Voice and Involvement at Work captures an unequalled international and comparative perspective through a wide cross-section of different NER forms.
Handbook of Research on Employee Voice
This thoroughly revised second edition presents up-to-date analysis from various academic streams and disciplines that illuminate our understanding of employee voice from a range of different perspectives. Exploring the previously under-represented paradigm of the organizational behaviour approach, new chapters take account of a broader conceptualization of employee voice. Written by expert contributors, this Handbook explores the meaning and impact of employee voice for various stakeholders and considers the ways in which these actors engage with voice processes such as collective bargaining, individual processes, mutual gains, task-based voice and grievance procedures
Employee Voice in Emerging Economies
While much is known about employee voice in the developed world, much less is known about its operation in emerging economies. This volume explores the nature of employee voice in Argentine, China, India and South Korea, providing a timely challenge to the predominant assumptions that underline our knowledge of employee voice in the Western world.
Worker Voice
The book aims to understand work participation in the workplace or worker voice by examining the inter-war experience in Australia, Canada, Germany, the UK and the US.

Models of Employee Participation in a Changing Global Environment
This title was first published in 2001. Management of the employment relationship changed markedly in the last two decades of the 21st century, and a major part of this has been the extension of employee involvement and participation in the workplace. Modern management theorists and researchers 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 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).
