尽管各行各业的公司越来越多地在其全球供应链中对工人的劳动标准采取私人监管，但越来越多的学术证据表明，这种方法并没有为这些工人的工作条件带来可持续的改善。作者借鉴了制度理论的最新发展，关于不透明制度领域的发展，导致实践与结果之间的脱钩，为供应链中劳动力实践缺乏可持续改善提供了新的解释。他们利用一家全球服装供应商和一家全球家居产品零售商的定性和定量数据，展示了不透明导致全球公司私人监管实践与供应链中工人结果之间脱钩的各种方式。
Although firms in diverse industries increasingly adopt private regulation of labor standards for workers in their global supply chains, growing scholarly evidence suggests that this approach has not generated sustainable improvements in working conditions for those workers. The authors draw on recent developments in institutional theory regarding the development of opaque institutional fields that cause the decoupling between practices and outcomes to develop a new explanation for the lack of sustainable improvement in labor practices in supply chains. Using qualitative and quantitative data from a global apparel supplier and a global home products retailer, they demonstrate the various ways in which opacity causes decoupling between private regulation practices of global firms and outcomes for workers in supply chains.
