Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of the Sociology of Work in Europe written by Paul Stewart and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-02 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the key conceptual features of the development of the Sociology of Work (SoW) in Europe since 1945, using eleven country case studies. An original contribution to our understanding of the trajectory of the SoW, the chapters map the current state of the theoretical background of the sub-discipline's development to broader socio-political and economic changes, traced across a heterogeneous set of national contexts. Different definitions of the SoW in each country often reflect variations in the focus of analysis, and these chapters link the subject definition and focus to other social science disciplines, the state, as well as social class interests and ideologies. The book contends that the ways in which the sub-discipline makes sense of changes in work is itself a response to the type of society in which the sub-discipline is practiced, whether in the post-war social democratic West, the Soviet East, or today's societies, dominated by variant forms of neo-liberalism. It will be of use to scholars and students interested in the transnational history of the discipline of sociology, with a specific focus on the nexus between the sociology of labour, ideology, economics and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprising the study, documentation, and comparison of plant-level workers’ participation around the world, this volume meets the challenge of offering a global perspective on workers’ participation, representation, and models of social partnership. Value chains, economic life, inter-cultural exchange and knowledge, as well as the mobility of persons and ideas increasingly cross the borders of nation-states. In the knowledge age, the active participation of workers in organizations is crucially important for sustainable and long-term growth and innovation. This handbook offers lessons from historical, global accounts of workers’ participation at plant level, even as it looks forward to predict forthcoming trends in participation.

Download or read book The Transformation of Employment Relations in Europe written by Jim Arrowsmith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, the process of European economic integration, within a wider context of globalization, has accelerated employment change and placed a new premium on ‘flexible’ forms of work organization. The institutions of employment relations, specifically those concerning collective bargaining between employers and trade unions, have had to adapt accordingly. The Transformation of Employment Relations focuses not just on recent change, but charts the strategic choices that have influenced employment relations and examines these key developments in a comparative perspective. A historical and cross-national analysis of the most important and controversial ‘issues’ explores the motivation of the actors, the implementation of change, and its evolution in a diverse European context. The book highlights the policies and the role played by different institutional and social actors (employers, management, trade unions, professional associations and governments) and assesses the extent to which these policies and roles have had significant effects on outcomes. This comparative analysis of the transformation of work and employment regulation, within the context of a quarter-century timeframe, has not been undertaken in any other book. But this is no comparative handbook in which changes are largely described on a country-by-country basis, but instead, The Transformation of Employment Relations is rather focused thematically. As Europe copes with a serious economic crisis, understanding of the dynamics of work transformation has never been more important.

Book excerpt: Con un mercado laboral agónico, no es de extrañar que la expatriación sea una de las mayores preocupaciones en el mundo de los Recursos Humanos. Por primera vez, muchísimas compañías españolas, hasta ahora solo activas en el mercado doméstico, ven su salida a otros países como la mejor opción para seguir creciendo y desarrollándose. Ante esta situación tanto los profesionales de Recursos Humanos como toda aquella persona interesada en conocer las implicaciones de una asignación internacional necesitan estar al tanto de cuáles son los aspectos críticos a la hora de gestionar de manera eficaz la movilidad internacional. Para ello RED EXPAT, iniciativa española nacida en 2001, en la que participan los equipos de Recursos Humanos de más de 100 compañías, aproximadamente 450 profesionales de dicho sector, especializados en la gestión de movilidad internacional, se ha encargado de la coordinación de este manual práctico. En ¿Trabajar fuera? se encontrarán las mejores respuestas a preguntas tales sobre cómo llevar a cabo con éxito la expatriación de los empleados de una empresa a un puesto de trabajo en otro país, qué obligaciones fiscales, laborales y de Seguridad Social tienen la empresa y el trabajador, qué retribuciones, beneficios y seguros son los más apropiados, cómo encontrar una vivienda adecuada, qué problemas presenta si se muda con su familia o si hacen falta visados o documentos especiales, así como los aspectos claves en la incorporación a España de nacionales de otros países.
