“…As similarly reported by Dundon and Ryan (2010), engagement with politically astute activists was essential to cement researcherparticipant empathy, to move beyond description and into a space where interviewees could feel free to discuss contentious issues. This was especially important given that members felt previous research was less than transparent with the CVP as a collective entity.…”

“…Furthermore, some of the deeper and richer sociological studies on workplace relations have a tendency to identify emergent themes postresearch (Dundon and Ryan, 2010). Further scrutiny of the aims of our various research projects showed that the data offered considerable scope for integrating the evidence along several unifying and emergent themes that are important to contemporary labour process analysis.…”

“…We therefore established criteria for an ex-post research design which allowed us to assess changes over time in a more holistic way than shorter or snapshot case reports, utilizing a staged approach to the re-analysis of data (see also Dundon and Ryan, 2010). The first stage involved reviewing the case organizations following Peetz's (2002) model to establish a range of managerial de-collectivizing strategies.…”

The way worker resistance and misbehaviour have been analyzed has undergone significant transformation over the past few decades. While researchers have observed the quantitative decline of formal or organized forms of industrial relations conflict, others have highlighted the emergence of informal and individualized (mis)behaviours. There have been a range of reasons advanced to explain both the decline in industrial disputes and in the lineal approaches to analyze workplace conflict. This article cautions the increasing tendency to analyze resistance and misbehaviour in an institutional vacuum. Drawing on longitudinal research across multiple organizational settings in Australia and Britain, the article identifies the longevity of institutional and structural factors to explain workplace behaviours, particularly among weakly organized workers. The evidence presented in this paper emphasizes the need to analyze employee resistance within its institutional context. The range of behaviours identified here in many non- or anti-union settings were shaped by the changing structural and institutional workplace regime: by sector, size, structure or managerial strategy (among others). By recognizing the importance of context and place, we argue that what is often portrayed as types of misbehaviour substitute for more assertive forms of resistance by workers who are vulnerable in the labour market or denied access to traditional collective structures of representation.La manière d’analyser la résistance ouvrière et les conduites déviantes des travailleurs a connu une transformation significative au cours des dernières décennies. Tandis que plusieurs chercheurs ont observé le déclin quantitatif des formes organisées ou de l’aspect formel des conflits en relations du travail, d’autres ont mis en lumière l’émergence de conduites d’opposition ou déviantes de nature informelle et individuelle. On a bien avancé un éventail de raisons explicatives à la fois du déclin des conflits en relations du travail et de l’apparition d’approches plus directes pour étudier le conflit sur les lieux du travail. Cet article invite toutefois à la prudence devant la tendance à analyser les phénomènes de résistance et de conduites déviantes dans un vacuum institutionnel. Prenant appui sur une recherche longitudinale auprès d’une multitude de milieux organisationnels en Australie et en Grande-Bretagne, l’article identifie la longévité de facteurs institutionnels et structurels pour expliquer les comportements en milieu de travail, particulièrement chez les travailleurs faiblement organisés. Les observations réalisées dans notre étude renforcent la nécessité d’analyser la résistance ouvrière dans son environnement institutionnel. Selon nous, les diverses conduites identifiées ici dans plusieurs milieux sans syndicats ou antisyndicaux ont été façonnées par les changements structurels et institutionnels survenus dans le régime même des relations du travail : selon le secteur, la taille, la structure ou la stratégie de la direction (entre autres chose...
