Abstract
The growth in the number of multinational corporations has heightened insecurity and vulnerability for workers globally. Relying on Gramsci hegemony theory as it theoretical leaning, the paper examined work reorganisation and the constraints of standard labour practices in Nigerian Food and Beverage Sector. The study found that casualisation did not encourage best labour practices in the food and beverage industry. There was significant relationship between work reorganisation ( r = 0.29, df (224) = p < .01) and decent work treatment of non-permanent staff in the beverage sub-sector Therefore, stakeholders should put effective monitoring mechanisms in place to enhance best labour practices in food and beverage industry.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
