receiice a reward for labour

complex relatonship: open unded, uncertain and sometmes there is a confict of interesty
Defi i g $R a d ER
- Dunlop 1993: IR system is a distnct insttutonal domain comprising of actors, processes,
context and outcomes
- Edwards 2003: Focus is on employment so all forms of economic acticity in which an
employee works under the authority of an employer and receiice wages for his or her labor
- Edwards: The employment relatonship is about organizing human resources in the light of
the productice aims of the frm, but also the aims of employees
Howeicer, what about self-employed workers?
$R is a i terdiscipni ary study co sists of actors, processes, outcomes a d neivens

trainings and so ony

EU leicel social dialogue
Three roots of co cept $R
IR is as a feld of study and not a discipliney It has a topic it explores, but borrows theories from other
disciplines to interpret what you see in practcey
1y Roots in economy
- When does a market relatonship becomes an employment relatonship?
- Transacton cost theory: cheaper to haice 1 negotaton/agreement that applies for eiceryone
than to haice negotatons with all employees
- Collectice agreements at sectory leicel: you know that other companies ofer the same wages
no competton for wages
2y Roots in sociology
- How shared standards and expectatons are created between two partes?
3y Roots in psychology
- How do two partes perceiice the expectatons that exist within the employment
relatonship?
- Psychological contract, the subjectice side of the contract
Views o types empnoyme t renato ship (Edwards)
1y Unitary iciew
- Identfy of interest between employer and employee
- Confict is a result of the misunderstanding
2y Pluralist iciew
- Confict is ineicitable, because icarious organisaton partcipate in determining the rules of
employment
- Howeicer by the law and insttutons we can manage a balance
- Stll, there is a risk of confict due to diferent authority sources
- Both the aims of the employer and employee are legitmate
3y Radical iciew
- Critces pluralism
- Major and funademental diferences between employees and employers run deeper than
weakness of insttutons
- Disorder runs much deeper than the weakness of insttutons
- Only the employer’s interest is legitmate
Two routes to orga izato feeibinity
1y Contract
- Relatonship based on hire and fre principle and indiicidual responsibility
- Market principle
- Detailed and specifc obligatons through organizatonal rules
- For example: performance appraisal systems
- External fexibiliazaton if you don’t need the employee anymore, fre them
- Temporary contracts
- Americanizaton
- Taylorist easy, simple tasks easier to hire and fre
2y Status
- Long-term relatonships
- Employees are treated as inicestment rather than a cost
- Employees partcipate in decision-making
, - Internal fexibility when the business is not doing well at a certain department, you start
working at another place within the company
- More permanent contracts
- Europeanizaton
- More team work

Decentralizaton:
- The trend that you are going to bargain from natonal to organzatonal leicel
- The leicel lower will mean that the group for who you are bargaining for, will get smaller and
smaller
