“…The econometric findings also provide support to the argument of that different forms of exposure to globalisation impact the employment relationship differently (Jenkins & Turnbull, 2010; Levi & Ahlquist, 2004). In Iran, the impact of trade openness is weakly positive, and the statistical significance of the coefficients varies substantially.…”

During the last several decades, two fundamental macro-level socio-economic shifts relevant to employment relations have occurred (Blyton et al., 2010, p. 5): first, financialisation, that is, the increased influence of financial institutions on the behaviour and priorities of non-financial firms and individuals and second, trade liberalisation and the globalisation of production. Consequently, a growing body of work within industrial relations and political economy looks at how these structural shifts have altered corporate governance structures and the employment relationship (e.g.
