Abstract

There are extensive reports of major changes in methods of management and employment policies throughout industrialised countries during the 1980s and the 1990s. Intense international competition and the internationalization of labour markets have reportedly encouraged innovations in the way work is organized and the way people are deployed and managed (Sisson, 1989; Blyton and Turnbull, 1992; Storey, 1992; Sparrow et al., 1994; Kitay and Lansbury, 1995; Locke, et al., 1995; Centre for European Human Resource Management, 1997). It has been argued these changes constitute a new approach to the management of labour. This approach has been labelled ‘human resource management’ and it is said to have replaced a ‘personnel management’ and /or an industrial relations approach to management (Mahoney and Deckop 1986; Dowling, 1990; Beaumont, 1991; Guest, 1991; Storey, 1992).
