Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines the dynamics of employment relations, focusing on how various factors influence the experiences of workers and the effectiveness of labor practices. It explores the impact of crises on the world of work, the implementation of workplace policies related to domestic violence and gender equality, and the processes by which workers move towards collective action and unionization. The journal also investigates the role of trust in management-employee representation, the challenges to job quality in the context of automation and platformization, and the effects of pay transparency and technological change on firm performance and work processes. Additionally, it delves into the mobilization of works councils' power resources, the negotiation of parental leave provisions through collective bargaining, and the influence of wage bargaining coordination on job displacement outcomes. The scope extends to the governance role of employee-shareholder representatives, the human factors and well-being in the gig economy, and the relationship between workplace experiences and political involvement. Finally, it analyzes the effectiveness of labor regulation, the predictors of union satisfaction, and the strategies employed in union organizing campaigns.
