本文探讨了五个国家劳动力市场因素对公共当局外包公共服务决策的影响。外包文献的主要焦点集中在一系列狭窄的因素上：公私之间的薪酬差距、工会会员资格和集体谈判覆盖范围。我们发现这些差异是可变的，并形成了更具包容性的视角。这包括考虑确定工资底线和就业保护（特别是外包工人）的劳动力市场规则以及公共和私人雇员之间可能存在的法律地位差异。我们对五个国家地方政府的案例研究强调了劳动力市场因素与外包之间的一系列特定国家的相互联系。这些导致管理者和工会对外包的态度以及薪酬和工作条件的结果发生变化。我们呼吁加强劳资关系结构的包容性，解决外包带来的劳动力分散问题。
This article examines the influence of labour market factors on public authorities’ decisions to outsource public services in five countries. The dominant focus in the outsourcing literature is on a narrow range of factors: public–private gaps in pay, union membership and collective bargaining coverage. We find such differences to be variable, and develop a more encompassing perspective. This includes consideration of labour market rules that establish wage floors and employment protection (especially for outsourced workers) and the possible differentiation of legal status between public and private employees. Our case studies from local government in five countries highlight a set of country-specific interconnections between labour market factors and outsourcing. These lead to variations in both managers’ and unions’ approaches towards outsourcing and in outcomes for pay and working conditions. We call for a strengthening of the inclusiveness of industrial relations structures to combat problems of workforce fragmentation caused by outsourcing.
