本文分析了中国在加纳贸易企业的劳资冲突。在介绍了中国贸易公司和加纳劳动力市场的基本情况后,我探讨了导致中非贸易部门就业关系失调和容易发生冲突的因素。在一个定性的人种学帐户,我调查招聘过程中,人际关系,权威的概念,制裁和激励,并详细说明互惠,社会角色,做法和相关的象征意义的不同解释的中国雇主和加纳员工之间的人际关系的特殊性。我认为,这些方面的人际关系是至关重要的理解冲突的发展,在经济领域的分析,也提出了另一种阅读的中国-非洲工业劳动冲突,到目前为止,这一直是专门讨论的中国企业违反正式规定,他们的剥削和虐待的做法。
This article analyzes labor conflicts in Chinese trade businesses in Ghana. After introducing the general situation of Chinese trading companies and the labor market in Ghana, I explore the factors that tend to make Chinese-African employment relations in the trading sector dysfunctional and conflict-prone. In a qualitative ethnographic account, I investigate recruitment processes, interpersonal relationships, concepts of authority, and sanctions and incentives, and elaborate on the specificities of diverging interpretations of reciprocity, social roles, practices and related symbolic significations within the interpersonal relations between Chinese employers and Ghanaian employees. I argue that these dimensions of interpersonal relations are crucial for understanding the development of conflict in the economic field analyzed, and also suggest an alternative reading of Chinese-African industrial labor conflicts, which have so far been discussed exclusively in terms of violations of formal regulations by Chinese enterprises, and their exploitative and abusive practices.
