Work, Employment, and Industrial Relations Theory
This
note will cover the multi-disciplinary theoretical and empirical foundations of
research on work, employment, labor markets, and industrial relations. It begins
by tracing the historical development of theory and research in the field,
paying special attention to how the normative premises, concepts, and
methodological traditions of industrial relations compare to those of other
disciplines that contribute to the study of work and employment relations. Then
will review a number of current theoretical and policy debates shaping the
field.
