Yet little is known about how these resources are mobilised in practice and why similar outcomes may emerge through different pathways. Drawing on two German firms acquired by Chinese state-owned enterprises, this study examines how works councils mobilised institutional power resources during cross-border mergers and acquisition negotiations. Despite reaching similarly favourable labour agreements, mobilisation processes differed markedly. Case-A featured conflictual management–works council relations and strong workforce coalitional power, leading to protective activation of institutional power resources through explicit reliance on labour laws and co-determination rights. Case-B showed collaborative relations between the works council and management but cautious workforce–works council ties, enabling proactive institutional activation where resources were strategically held in reserve. Across both cases, structural, ideational and associational power resources complemented institutional ones. The study contributes to institutional and power resource theories by demonstrating that institutional power resources can be strategically deployed through either protective or proactive orientations, with coalitional power configurations serving as a critical antecedent shaping mobilisation pathways. This reveals significant variation in agency within the same institutional environment, highlighting how similar employment outcomes can emerge through distinct strategic approaches.","PeriodicalId":47846,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":"64 3","pages":"450-466"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjir.70056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148783533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When Jobs Change: Skills Mismatch and the Value of Training 当工作发生变化：技能不匹配和培训的价值

Using data on approximately 70 million online job vacancies, we estimate the extent to which occupational skill requirements changed between 2019 and 2023 across European Union (EU) countries plus Norway and the United Kingdom. STEM-related occupations saw the greatest degree of change, whereas lower skilled manual jobs saw the least. By linking job vacancies to survey data, we show that employees in fast-changing jobs are more likely to experience skills deficits. Training plays a role in mitigating these negative effects, and the type and intensity of training matters. Training seminars/workshops are most effective. Formal training courses and on-the-job training are less effective when used in isolation but can mitigate skills deficits when combined with other types of training. Our constructed dataset of occupational skill change is published as an accompanying data appendix. This should be of use for future research across a range of areas in labour economics and industrial relations.","PeriodicalId":47846,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":"64 3","pages":"584-614"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjir.70067","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148785231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper addresses this gap, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics that shape effective dialogue in the employment relationship. Drawing from the European Company Survey 2019, we found that management's trust in employee representation predicts the implementation of direct employee involvement and participation practices and employee representation effectiveness. Our findings also show patterns consistent with the importance of direct employee involvement and participation practices as a transmission channel through which trust in employee representation translates into greater employee representation effectiveness. Finally, we explore firm size as a boundary condition, showing that the proposed channel is stronger in medium-sized firms. Overall, our results are robust to alternative specifications. We discuss the theoretical implications of our findings and present avenues for future research.","PeriodicalId":47846,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":"64 3","pages":"521-544"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjir.70063","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148783616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The employment relationship is simultaneously a site where the effects of crises are most acutely experienced and a central mechanism through which profit is generated within a capitalist political-economic system characterised by recurring crisis tendencies. Therefore, employment relations offer a particularly useful vantage point from which to analyse how the polycrisis is impacting the world of work. In this perspective article, we ask: How does polycrisis affect employment relations in countries across the world? We begin by examining ‘polycrisis’ as a concept before considering its implications for employment relations across the world. Then, we evaluate whether prevailing theories within employment relations and critical political economy scholarship help us comprehend the current era of polycrisis. Building on this assessment, we present a multi-theory and multi-level analytical framework that highlights the complex and diverse impacts of polycrisis and the role of institutions and actors at various levels in different country settings. We close by identifying key avenues for future research.","PeriodicalId":47846,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Industrial Relations","volume":"64 3","pages":"570-583"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjir.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148783701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
