Two underexplored dimensions of this literature are (a) how authoritarian practices are utilised by power elites in ‘hybrid’ state formations and (b) under what conditions they may be discarded in favour of a return to direct forms of coercion and violence. In this article, we examine these questions with reference to Myanmar, where there was a decade of experimentation with democracy before a reversion to military-dominated authoritarian rule in February 2021. In the first half of that decade, space opened under a military-led government for decidedly more democratic labour relations, although labour governance reforms were designed and operationalised in ways that constrained the strength and reach of trade unions. In the second half, a democratically elected civilian-led government presided over the contraction of the space available to organised labour. By tracking the alignment of meso-level authoritarian practices against the changing macro-level character of Myanmar's political landscape, this article contributes to theoretical debates within the emerging literature on authoritarian innovations in labour governance.","PeriodicalId":47100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141927231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, non-Indigenous-owned Australian businesses are still struggling to meet their Indigenous employment targets, and the national gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous employment rates remains wide. Despite the increased popularity of Indigenous-specific workplace and recruitment policies, there is a lack of research that aims to determine their associations with Indigenous employment. This paper addresses this gap by surveying 680 non-Indigenous-owned Australian businesses, detailing the uptake of various Indigenous-focused workplace and recruitment practices and their associations with Indigenous employment. The study finds that there is limited uptake of policies and practices such as Reconciliation Action Plans, cultural competency training, and Indigenous employment strategies, and some scepticism from respondents about their efficacy. OLS and negative binomial estimations could not demonstrate consistent associations between the implementation of these policies and Indigenous employment. However, the paper finds a significant association between the presence of Indigenous people in management positions within non-Indigenous-owned businesses and higher rates of Indigenous employment. This finding is consistent with previous research, which suggests that Indigenous-led approaches lead to improved Indigenous employment outcomes.","PeriodicalId":47100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141938959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, we still know little about the mechanisms that explain why this occurs. In this article, we aim to fill this gap in the literature. Using data from the World Values Survey for Argentina and Chile (2006–2018), we employed the Karlson–Holm–Breen mediation analysis to analyze the degree to which the relationship between union membership and participation in demonstrations and strikes is explained by union members’ higher levels of politicization and stronger left-wing orientation, as hypothesized in previous studies. We found that in the two countries these two mediators explain more than 30% of the relationship between union membership and participation in demonstrations. We also found that these two mediators explain around 20% of the relationship between union membership and strike participation in Argentina, and nearly 40% of such relationship in Chile. At the end of the article, we offer some explanations for these findings and show how they contribute to the literature on trade unions, class politics, and industrial relations.","PeriodicalId":47100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141938960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Quebec union concerned about the health of its members, union counsellors employed by another union, commissioned a study of a prominent psychosocial risk factor: work overload. A case study based on a mixed exploratory participatory design (qual→QUAN; 25 semi-structured interviews, 82 questionnaires) identified individual, interpersonal and organisational determinants, consequences, strategies and possible solutions for the prevention of work overload. The study specifies the workload associated with certain tasks, which are perceived as being more demanding both quantitatively and emotionally. High emotional exhaustion and poor work-life balance underline the urgency of preventing overload. The results point to solutions that mitigate collateral impacts and adopt approaches differentiated by sex/gender, career stage and work-life situation. These reflections on the prevention of a type of psychosocial hazard in trade union action emphasise the importance of understanding the components of workload, and may apply to other professional jobs involving care functions and the management of complex cases.","PeriodicalId":47100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141769681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

China, among others, has attempted to address this challenge by including gig and other self-employed workers on a voluntary, self-sponsorship basis. Drawing on data collected from platform-based food-delivery workers complemented by self-compiled data on local labor policies across Chinese cities, this study evaluated the effects of voluntarism in extending social protection to gig workers on their social insurance enrollment. Specifically, we compared the social insurance enrollment of workers granted employee status by the platform or its subcontractors—thus covered by the mandatory, employer-sponsored social insurances—over crowdsourcing/gig workers on the same platform that may self-enroll in the system. We found that voluntary enrollment has achieved a generally lower social insurance coverage than the mandatory approach. But the primary contribution of this research lies in the institutional contingencies for this finding contextualized in areas with deregulated labor markets and discrimination against migrant workers. Specifically, we found that while improved labor market regulations play a protective role for mandatory social insurance enrollment only, gaining local citizenship may to some extent offset those disadvantages associated with the voluntary approach.","PeriodicalId":47100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141804239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, this article explores the last two decades of Australian data pertaining to work-related psychological injuries, work capacity and benefit/compensation pathways. The presented data highlights the increasing costs and duration of mental health-related workers’ compensation claims, indicating a steady intensification of the complexity or severity of psychological injury claims. Equally, psychiatric conditions form the largest proportion of longer-term incapacity benefits received in the working population. This article then considers why there has not been reduction in rates of work-related psychological injury, and moreover, why are workers who functional recovery appears to be worsening in recent years. Firstly, despite regulatory reform, there is little practical direction available to guide preventative change, as such, establishing an evidence base for effective tools to mitigate workplace psychosocial hazards is critical. Secondly, an increased focus on workers who are already unwell is urgently needed. Multi-component work interventions, upskilling managers, and rehabilitation-focused treatments have demonstrated effectiveness and require considered implementation. Finally, at a policy level, it is important to redress aspects of the Workers’ Compensation Scheme that may be impeding recovery.","PeriodicalId":47100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141351338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
