Abstract:

This study is about the development of Japanese industrial relations, based on a quantitative analysis of industrial disputes. This study proposes a model of industrial relations, which incorporates interactions between principal actors, such as the state, capital, and labor and two major contingent factors, i.e., political and economic factors. Two levels at which these factors affect industrial relations are distinguished: one at the world-systemic level, another at a subsystemic (country) level. The model predicts that the triadic relation among the state, capital, and labor affects industr

The Iron and Steel Corporation of South Africa (Iscor) was analysed within various theoretical approaches within the sociology of science and technology. Iscor follows the production processes that are based on a particular paradigm practiced throughout the world by steel-making organisations. The study aims to unlock this paradigm by using specific theoretical (ANT, SCOT and SSR) and disciplinary (MOT) approaches. Each approach provides a

Abstract:

Over the last ten to fifteen years, an expanding body of research has sought to ascertain whether environmental hazards are distributed equitably according to race and income. While much attention has been paid to the relative ability of each of these variables to predict increased hazard levels, little attention has been paid to the forces giving rise to environmental inequality. This dissertation fills this gap by examining the forces giving rise to the current distribution of industrial pollution in the Detroit metropolitan area. The dissertation addresses three basic questions. First, is t

Although rankings have been in existence for almost a century, scholars have only developed a limited understanding of the role of such aggregations of performance measures in organisational fields. In particular, there is little understanding of how cognitive and strategic processes at the organisational level, which underlie the measurement and ranking process, impact on macro outcomes on the level of the organisational field. This is due to the persistence of two assumptions about the impact of rankings on organisations and fields. These are, firstly, that here is a cause-effect relationshi

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to examine the extent to which homelessness is a gendered phenomenon. In the homelessness literature direct comparisons between men and women are rare, and the ability to compare is complicated by the tendency for research to be either on 'single homelessness' or 'family homelessness'. This thesis addresses this gap and systemically explores the ways in which homelessness is a gendered phenomenon. The research for this thesis focused on homelessness practices in a specific British city. The approach was an ethnographic one and included interviews with homeless people,

Abstract:

Cette thèse porte sur la construction sociale de la confiance dans les regroupements industriels du secteur des télécommunications au Vietnam. L’enjeu est de comprendre comment, dans un contexte économique de forte concurrence, s’organisent les relations sociales à l’intérieur des regroupements industriels. Il s'agit, dans cette thèse, d’analyser la confiance pour comprendre le sens que lui donnent les acteurs. Les regroupements industriels, de type cluster ou district, permettent d’observer des situations de coopération et de compétition dans lesquelles les échanges économiques et sociaux son

Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this quantitative, survey-based study was to investigate the relationship between anger and hatred in an effort to learn more about how to understand and curb the problem of workplace violence. In particular, perfectionism was examined as a possible mediator of the relationship between anger and hatred. The study was conducted on a sample of 1,192 people. The statistical techniques of correlation, partial correlation, linear regression, and principal components analysis (PCA) were used to examine the relationship between variables in the study. The following conclusions were

Abstract:

Private, non-governmental programs for certifying companies as environmentally or socially responsible emerged in the 1990s in response to problems of sweatshops in the global apparel industry and deforestation in the forest products industry. The similarity between certification programs in each field is striking but has received little attention to date. Neither pure self-regulation nor traditional public regulation, certification programs embody a type of "private regulation by information." Why did this same regulatory form emerge in these two very different fields? Theories focusing on co

Abstract:

Considered "the father of the science of human relations," Elton Mayo was instrumental in the development of industrial psychology and sociology in America. The career of Elton Mayo and his attraction to influential figures like John D. Rockefeller, Jr., provide a chronological order and interpretive force to understand this development. Mayo's concern about human behavior in the modern industrial world and management's concern over the future of industrial relations, found common ground in their support for the development of a science of human relations. It is not a coincidence then, that t

L'objectif principal de cette thèse est d'abord de documenter la teneur des discours de chacune des catégories d'acteurs impliquées dans le processus d'élaboration de la Loi québécoise en équité salariale (LES). En second lieu, la thèse vise à éclaircir dans quelle mesure la LES peut être décrite comme le reflet des discours portés par les différents acteurs présents aux audiences publiques d'août 1996 tenues par la Commission des affaires sociales. La méthodologie choisie pour ce faire combine une analyse de contenu et une analyse des arguments présentés par les acteurs présents lors des audi

Abstract:

Sociologists are interested in examining the relations between globalization and a range of labour market outcomes, including earnings inequality. Common approaches include studying the impact of globalization on the welfare state, and the effects of import competition and foreign direct investment (FDI) outflows. This thesis examines the effects of exporting, foreign ownership (FDI inflow), and outsourcing with particular emphasis on exporting on i) workplace productivity; ii) worker compensation; iii) the demand for skills and the pay of employees with different skill levels; and iv) emp
