摘要:

The study of comparative HRM is needed to complement and condition the field of international HRM. But the task of building atheoryof comparative HRM is not a simple one. This article argues that the goal of such theory should be to account for differences in workforce capability and labour productivity across nations. Suggesting what ought to be explained, however, is much easier than providing credible explanations. the article argues that it is important to identify dominant models of HRM in each country, recognising that there is significant variation both within and between nations. Management in firms plays a critical role in shaping models of labour management but analysis must also take account of the impact of other actors such as the state and labour.

摘要:

Trevor Colling assesses the concept of ‘strategic choice’ in the light of developments in employment strategy and practice in British Airways. Contrary to the language of competition attending privatisation, it is argued that BA's celebrated decision to compete ‘upstream’ depended on their continued ability to influence their product market. Current restructuring reflects a significant weakening of this ability and is producing a different and, so far, less celebrated set of priorities. Attempts to theorise the links between competition, employment strategy and competitiveness should pay greater attention to the policy frameworks provided by local, national and supra‐nation

摘要:

The influence on sickness absence of both attendance motivation and ill‐health is addressed in a national sample of British working people. Three patterns of absence are studied, those suggested to be attributable to differences in ill‐health alone, those considered to arise from variations in attendance motivation alone and those thought to be due to variations in both factors. the first pattern is illustrated by the finding that age is positively associated with sickness absence, contrary to suggestions from published meta‐analyses. Variations in both ill‐health and attendance motivation are implicated in the demonstration that the positive relationship with age is significantly non‐linear, with elevated rates of sickness absence at younger as well as at older ages; minimum levels of sickness absence were found to be at 41 years for men and 38 years for women. Motivational (rather than ill‐health) differences are suggested to underlie the observed greater sickness absence among employed people in comparison with the self‐employed, and among full‐time workers in relation to part‐timers. Differences associated with gender, socio‐economic status, shift‐working and chronic health impairment a
