Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the first on industrial relations research methods, comes at a time when the field of industrial relations is in flux and research strategy has become more complex and varied. Research that once focused on the relationship between labor and management now involves a wider range of issues. This change has raised a number of key questions about how research should be done.The contributors represent four countries and a range of fields, including economics, sociology, psychology, law, history, and industrial relations. They identify distinctive research strategies and suggest approaches that might be appropriate in the future. Among their concerns are the relative value of qualitative and quantitative methods, of using primary and secondary data, and of single versus multimethod techniques.

Download or read book Industrial Relations and the Social Order written by Wilbert E. Moore and published by . This book was released on 1946 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book owes its inception and much of its organization to the writer's experience in teaching a course on "Industrial Sociology" for several years at The Pennsylvania State College. In bringing together materials for that course it became evident that modern industry has rarely been viewed as a complex social organization and pattern of relations; and in the few outstanding cases that such a view has been taken the "internal" structure of industry has not been set within the society with which it is in constant interaction. Despite numerous guides and handbooks for selecting employees or conducting industrial relations, as well as numerous texts on the formal structure of industrial management and the history of labor organizations, the functioning of the structure as a whole has received scant attention. It is this latter point of view that is emphasized in the present treatment. It is intended less to supplant than to supplement the various "standard" treatments of industrial organization and industrial relations. The view that prompts this work is that the social aspects of modern industrial organization are of the most practical sort. They are as real, and their effects as crucial, as the engineer's equations and the accountant's ledgers. The presentation has been made as compact as clarity and the range of subject-matter seemed to allow. This has been done in the interests of busy industrial and union executives and informed laymen who may find the book useful, as well as of students who must encompass many specialties and hope for a useful integration. Social scientists may find the book a suggestive summary of scattered materials. An unusually extensive list of references is appended to each chapter, in which as in the text an attempt is made to bridge fields too rarely brought together.

Download or read book Industrialization as an Agent of Social Change written by Herbert Blumer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Herbert Blumer wrote continuously and voluminously, and consequently left a vast array of unpublished work at the time of his death in 1987. This posthumously published volume testifies further to his perceptive analysis of large-scale social organizations and elegant application of symbolic interactionist principles. Blumer's focus on the processual nature of social life and on the significance of the communicative interpretation of social contexts is manifest in his theory of industrialization and social change. His theory entails three major points: industrialization must be seen in processual terms, and the industrialization process is different for different historical periods; the consequences of industrialization are a function of the interpretive nature of human action and resembles a neutral framework within which groups interpret the meaning of industrial relations, and the industrial sector must be viewed in terms of power relations; industrial societies contain inherently conflicting interests. The editors' introductory essay outlines Blumer's metatheoretical stance (symbolic interactionism) and its emphasis on the adjustive character of social life. It places Blumer's theory in the context of contemporary macro theory, including world systems theory, resource dependence theory, and modernization theory.

Download or read book The Challenge of Labour written by Keith Burgess and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge of Labour (1980) explains the changing forms of labour’s relationship with British society during the period of 1850 to 1930 – as the economic and social relations of Britain, the pioneer of modern industrial development, were undergoing a profound transformation due to increasing pressure from foreign competitors. It looks at the importance of the forces of production in determining the character of the relationship, whilst regarding labour as a creative act, identifying man as a social animal. This important period gave rise to a unique symbiosis in terms of a mutually dependent but simultaneously antagonistic relationship, reflected in the growth of trade unionism, associations for working class ‘self-help’, and labourist political movements during the years 1850–70. The book goes on to explain why and how these forms of labour’s relationship with British society as a whole were subsequently to be transformed as they were affected by the changing direction of Britain’s economic development after the 1870s. This resulted in a recognisable ‘modern’ pattern of British social relations, marked by a growing acceptance of ‘corporatist’ solutions to problems of economic and social instability.
