They also report that the number of hours of overtime worked has increased. Previous research on work-related stress and overtime work has demonstrated associations with altered physiological arousal, increased risk for stress related diseases, shorter sleep, greater fatigue and impaired performance. However, there is a lack of knowledge on the effects within individuals. The general aim of the thesis was to investigate the effect of overtime work and increased work stress on sleep, the diurnal pattern of cortisol, sleepiness and subjective stress in a within-subject design. In addition, it examined individual differences in the diurnal cortisol response to stress. We used a combination of methods – questionnaires, sleep and wake diaries, objective measures of sleep, stress hormones (salivary cortisol) and ambulatory measures of heart rate and blood pressure.

  • The Employment Relationship and the Field of Industrial Relations
    THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP 1 1 THE EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP AND THE FIELD OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS PAUL EDWARDS The term ‘industrial relations’ (IR) came into common use in Britain and North America during the 1920s. It has been joined by personnel management (PM) and, since the 1980s, human resource management (HRM). All three denote a practical activity (the management of people) and an area of academic enquiry. Texts in all three fields commonly take as their starting point the corporate assertion that ‘people are our most important asset’: if this is indeed so, there is little further need to justify a text. Yet we need first to explain what lies behind this apparent axiom. It is then important to highlight some of the key current issues about the conduct of work in modern Britain. We can then consider how IR as an academic approach addresses these issues and the distinction between it and the other two fields of enquiry. Finally, the structure of the book is explained. First, some basic explanation. ‘Industry’ is sometimes equated with manufac- turing, as in contrasts between industry and services. ‘Industrial relations’ has in principle never been so restricted. In practice, however, attention until recently often focused on certain parts of the economy. These in fact embraced more than manufacturing to include the public sector for example, but there was neglect of small firms and large parts of the private service sector. Whether or not there were good reasons for this neglect (and the case is at least arguable), the situation has changed, and recent research has addressed growing areas of the economy such as call centres.

  • Industrial Relations
    Industrial relations Introduction Sound industrial relations and effective social dialogue are a means to promote better wages and working conditions as well as peace and social justice. As instruments of good governance they foster cooperation and economic performance, helping to create an enabling environment for the realization of the objective of Decent Work at the national level. Indicators on industrial relations are an important element in measuring progress of Decent Work, which is why ILOSTAT presents statistics on trade union density and collective bargaining coverage rates resulting from an ILO data compilation effort (including an annual questionnaire and numerous special enquiries), with contributions from J. Visser. ILOSTAT also includes statistics compiled from national sources on the number of strikes and lockouts that took place every year, the number of workers involved in strikes and lockouts, the number of days not worked due to strikes and lockouts and the ratio of days not worked due to strikes and lockouts per 1000 workers, all of them disaggregated by economic activity. Concepts and definitions A trade union is defined as a workers' organization constituted for the purpose of furthering and defending the interests of workers. For the purposes of favouring international comparability of the statistics presented in ILOSTAT, trade union membership refers only to union members who are employees. That is, it excludes union members who are not in paid employment (self-employed, unemployed, retired, etc.), unless otherwise stated in the notes. Workers covered by collective bargaining are all those workers whose pay and/or conditions of employment are determined by one or more collective agreement(s).

  • THE AMERICAN SYSTEM of INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Some Contrasts with Foreign Systems
    CHAPTER VIII THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS Some Contrasts With Foreign Systems SUMNER H. SLICHTER Lamont Professor of Economics Harvard University The year 1954 saw important developments in the field of indus- trial jurisprudence. A New York arbitrator held that it is not per- missible to fire a waiter because he is writing a book about the customers and the owner of the restaurant. The New Jersey Supreme Court held that a bartender, hit by flying beer steins, may collect workmen's compensation. An Australian tribunal held that compen- sation was proper in the case of a dislocated jaw suffered while yawning at work. There were also important new laws and adminis- trative orders. Boxers appearing in professional bouts in Indiana were required to take non-communist oaths. The town of Waterloo, Nebraska, forbade barbers to eat onions between 7 A.M. and 7. P.M. Before a body such as this it might seem appropriate for me to discuss these and other important recent developments in industrial jurisprudence. But your President knows that I am not competent to do this and he wisely suggested that I refrain from talking about the kind of problems that you are so expert at handling. Something broad and general that might give you what he called "background" and that would not too painfully reveal my ignorance of arbitration was what he suggested. Well, the broadest topic that I can think of in the labor field is comparisons between the systems of industrial relations of different countries. Consequently, I am going to discuss a few aspects of the 167 168 ARBITRATION TODAY American system of industrial relations and contrast them with cor- responding parts of some foreign systems of industrial relations.

Piore December 1983 SSM WP //1505-83 MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 50 MEMORIAL DRIVE CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS 02139 Will the New Industrial Relations Last? Implications for the American Labor Movement Thomas A. Kochan Michael J. Piore December 1983 SSM WP //1505-83 Will the New Industrial Relations Last? Implications for the American Labor Movement Thomas A. Kochan and Michael J. Piore Massachusetts Institute of Technology November, 1983 This paper was prepared for a forthcoming issue of the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science devoted to the future of the labor movement. Portions of this paper were presented at an MIT/Union Leadership Conference held in Boston in June, 1983. The content of the paper draws on some of the findings emerging out of a collaborative research project studying "U.S. Industrial Relations in Transition" underway in the Industrial Relations Section at MIT. Funds for this project are provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, however, the authors are solely responsible for the contents of this paper. Abstract This paper reviews changes occurring in the U.S. industrial relations system at the workplace, in collective bargaining, and at the level of strategic decision making within business and labor organizations. By relating these current developments to longer term pressures on the post New Deal industrial relations system, we suggest that the system is undergoing fundamental transformation. To adapt to these changes unions will need to redefine their roles at the workplace by reorganizing work and fostering worker participation, adjust their wage bargaining objectives to promote employment continuity and compensation systems that are more closely tied to firm performance, and play a more direct and central role in business strategy decisions within the firm.
