Abstract

Currently the Italian labor market has undergone a restructuring process due to the relatively recent arrival of new forms of employment contract (compared to the rest of Europe), to the end to the public monopoly in employment policies and to the far-reaching changes in labor law. These are some of the factors that are changing the “rules of the game” in company-employee relations and have had a significant effect on the dynamics of the Italian temporary work agency (TWA) sector. In particular, two events had a crucial effect on ending the state’s monopoly over the labor market: Decree no. 276 of 2003, at least in terms of the regulations. This study is designed to aid understanding of the developmental dynamics of the sector and assess the role played in the labor market in Italy. The analysis helps to understand the dynamics and behavior of organizations viewed as well-established players conditioned by a legal, social and cultural context which, in its turn, is the result of the interaction between the actions implemented by individual players. The longitudinal research carried out in the sector of Italian TWAs is the result of six field studies undertaken over a fifteen years (2000; 2005; 2007; 2009; 2012, 2015/2016). The analyses from research in the field have enabled a processual reconstruction of phenomena and events that have taken place over a 30-year period (1986–2016), which corresponds to the process of preparation, creation and development of temporary work agencies.
