本文探讨的态度和策略，英国为基础的雇主，因为他们开发了他们的使用移民劳动力的最新表现的一项战略，针对弱势群体的工人与劳动力市场的力量较低。管理层的庆祝活动的“好员工”，基于对移民员工的感知属性的刻板印象，与“商业案例”和“基于资源的观点”的辩论在人力资源管理文献中产生共鸣。然而，就业条款和条件仍然与劳动力市场的底层紧密相连。文章将雇主的态度分析与移民工人的观点、经验和愿望结合起来。微观层面的程序也位于更广泛的分析框架内，纳入了更广泛的社会经济背景和监管干预的关键时刻。
The article examines the attitudes and strategies of a UK based employer as they developed their use of migrant labour in the latest manifestation of a strategy that targeted groups of vulnerable workers with lower labour market power. Management's celebration of the 'good worker', based on the stereotyping of the perceived attributes of immigrant employees, resonated with the 'business case' and 'resource based view' debates within the human resource management literature. Yet terms and conditions of employment remained wedded to the bottom of the labour market. The article integrates analysis of the attitudes of employers with the views, experiences and aspirations of migrant workers. Micro level processes are also located in a wider analytical framework, incorporating the broader socio-economic context and key moments of regulatory intervention.
