Regulation work employment Towards multidisciplinary

项目摘要

Work and employment remain a central concern to people's livelihoods, wellbeing and identities. But how are the terms, nature and quality of work and employment determined? In other words, what is the system of regulation that shapes and reproduces these terms? This series aims to address the complexities and dynamics of the forces that give rise to patterns of regulation at local, national, supranational and international levels. The series will contribute to developing understanding of these issues and in doing so; it will inform policies, strategies and practices of government, businesses and unions.The regulation of work and employment has always generated debate about the competing demands between economic concerns (e.g., competitiveness and productivity), and social concerns (e.g., worker rights, equality and social justice). However, the global financial crisis has created a high degree of tension as businesses struggle to reconcile the need to survive intensified competition whilst dealing with the fragmentation of industrial relations (IR). In this context, the regulation of work and employment is a central point of contention. Such controversy is evidenced in the debates around UK membership of the EU (Monks, 2013). For governments, policy-makers and inter-governmental agencies, this translates into struggles to set the 'rules of the game' and the degree of intervention. Most workers and their families, as well as unions welcome regulation as they see it as a key element of decent work, work-life balance and health and safety (van Wanrooy et al., 2011; Sanséau and Smith, 2012). However, many employers argue that a high degree of regulation may discourage them from investing and creating jobs in a local economy, instead driving them to countries with a lower degree of regulation. From the perspective of the labour movement, such arguments can precipitate an international 'race to the bottom' in terms of employers offering poor conditions rather than decent opportunities. These contradictions are seen in diverse discussions about regulation at national and supranational levels. For example, the UK government's "Red Tape Challenge" (BIS, 2012); the EU15 Project (OECD, 2012), and the report on Standards for Rule Making (Business Council of Australia, 2012) show that regulation is seen as a burden on business. The CBI (2012) notes that regulation stymies performance and economic growth, and hinders investment. Indeed, in the last two decades there has been an increase in governments' efforts to reform (i.e. reduce) regulatory interventions into labour markets and workplaces. However, the OECD (2004, 2012) recognises that a regulatory framework is essential to efficient markets and effective government. At an international level, evidence from economies such as Germany suggests that employment protection and strong economic output can coexist.This highlights that regulation should no longer be a theme reserved for specialist discussion. This seminar programme presents a timely opportunity to establish an innovative, collaborative dialogue where diverse discussions are brought together with a view of improving our learning in academic terms and to influence policy-making and practices (see Bamber et al., 2010; Bamber et al., 2011).We propose six seminars focusing on:1. Competing approaches to regulation of work and employment.2. Workplace regulation: human resource management (HRM) and IR issues.3. International regulation.4. Regulation and the individual experience of work.5. Regulation and the firm.6. The future of regulation.Seminar 1 identifies the commonalities in seemingly disparate discourses, setting out key questions. Seminars 2-5 each explore regulation at a different level of analysis (workplace, international, individual and organisational). Seminar 6 establishes an agenda for the future that seeks to advance the discussion, inform and influence policy and practice.

工作和就业仍然是人们的生计、福祉和身份的核心关切。但是，如何确定工作和就业的条件、性质和质量？换句话说，塑造和再现这些术语的调节系统是什么？该系列旨在探讨在地方、国家、超国家和国际各级产生监管模式的各种力量的复杂性和动态。该系列将有助于发展对这些问题的理解，并在这样做的过程中，它将为政府，企业和工会的政策，战略和做法提供信息。工作和就业的监管总是引起关于经济问题之间相互竞争的需求的辩论（例如，竞争力和生产力），以及社会问题（例如，工人权利、平等和社会正义）。然而，全球金融危机造成了高度的紧张局势，因为企业在应对劳资关系分裂的同时，也在努力调和在激烈竞争中生存的需要。在这方面，工作和就业的管理是争论的中心点。这种争议在英国加入欧盟的辩论中得到了证明（Monks，2013）。对于政府、政策制定者和政府间机构来说，这意味着要努力制定“游戏规则”和干预程度。大多数工人及其家庭以及工会欢迎监管，因为他们认为监管是体面工作、工作与生活平衡以及健康和安全的关键因素（货车Wanrooy等人，2011年; Sanséau和Smith，2012年）。然而，许多雇主认为，高度的监管可能会阻碍他们在当地经济中投资和创造就业机会，而是将他们推向监管程度较低的国家。从劳工运动的角度来看，这些论点可能会引发一场国际性的“逐底竞赛”，即雇主提供的条件很差，而不是体面的机会。这些矛盾体现在关于国家和超国家层面监管的各种讨论中。例如，英国政府的“繁文缛节挑战”（BIS，2012年）、欧盟15国项目（OECD，2012年）和规则制定标准报告（澳大利亚商业理事会，2012年）都表明，监管被视为企业的负担。CBI（2012）指出，监管阻碍了业绩和经济增长，并阻碍了投资。事实上，在过去20年中，各国政府加大了努力，改革（即减少）对劳动力市场和工作场所的监管干预。然而，经合组织（2004年，2012年）认识到，监管框架对有效的市场和有效的政府至关重要。在国际层面，来自德国等经济体的证据表明，就业保护和强劲的经济产出可以共存，这突出表明，监管不应再成为专门讨论的主题。这个研讨会计划提供了一个及时的机会，建立一个创新的，合作的对话，在那里不同的讨论汇集在一起，以提高我们的学习在学术方面和影响决策和实践（见班伯等人，2010; Bamber等人，2011年）。我们建议举办六次研讨会，重点是：1.对工作和就业的管理采取相互竞争的办法。工作场所监管：人力资源管理和投资关系问题。国际监管。法规和个人工作经验。5.监管和公司。6.监管的未来。研讨会1确定了看似不同的话语中的共性，提出了关键问题。研讨会2-5每个探讨监管在不同层次的分析（工作场所，国际，个人和组织）。研讨会6建立了一个未来的议程，旨在推进讨论，告知和影响政策和实践。
