“…Throughout the world, IR activity is increasingly constrained and restrained and indeed sometimes even improved by regulation (see e.g. Howe, 2017). The ways in which line managers at different levels interact and engage with regulation is an important area of study, not only for the experiences of these managers, but also for their subordinate employees and employing organisations.…”

Interactions between line managers and subordinate employees are fundamental to the employment relationship and, therefore, to industrial relations as a field of both study and practice. Human resource management literature has focused on the responsibilities line managers have as implementers of employment policy and practice, for example in dealing with grievance and disciplinary matters, communication and involvement, the application of discrimination policies, and the management of pay. Thus, it is surprising that this body of managers has been neglected in recent industrial relations research. This article fits the theme of the special issue by providing an overview of ‘where we are’ and sets out a research agenda of ‘Where to next?’, for the study of line managers in industrial relations research.

The article is devoted to the theoretical and methodological of social-labor relations system transformation. The author suggests organizing the transformation of the sociallabor relations system on the base of the system axiological approach that allows actualizing the analysis and modeling of the transformation processes of the social-labor relations system, point out the bifurcation moment of social-labor relations system. Such transformation peculiarities and parameters as institutional space, labor processes, human resources and interaction process have been considered.

“…We could argue that important theoretical contributions in the area of regulation of work and employment (see for example, Danford, 1998;Edwards & Elger, 1999;Howe, 2017;Inversi, Buckley, & Dundon, 2017;Lillie, 2010;MacKenzie, 2002;MacKenzie & Martínez Lucio, 2005Martínez Lucio & MacKenzie, 2004;Martínez Lucio, Turnbull, Blyton, & McGurk, 2001;Pearson & Seyfang, 2001) engage and build upon previous arguments about structure and actors, especially the latter. In disciplinary terms, these studies move away from the economics-driven focus that characterised initial work and theorise the complexities of labour dynamics and the role of different actors adopting interdisciplinary perspectives.…”

a alliance manchester Business school, university of manchester, manchester, uK; b newcastle university Business school, newcastle upon Tyne, uK ABSTRACT Changes to dynamics work and employment have resulted in calls for more sustainable management, procedural control, institutional governance, and political accountability. Against this background, there is renewed attention to regulation, its terms, nature and quality, and its role to shape the employment relationship. An important concern for international and comparative human resource management (I/CHRM) is understanding the role of regulation in interacting with these changes and how this varies across within and between countries. Regulation sits at the centre of competing economic and social demands, which are seen as both complementary and irreconcilable, and its complexity needs to be theorized and empirically mapped. The article discusses key themes related to changes to dynamics, processes and structures, and tensions that concern the fields of I/CHRM and its relationship with the regulation of work and employment. The article calls for more comprehensive insight into the theoretical links between regulation and I/CHRM, and more empirical evidence of their interplay across contexts. It suggests that engaging with the paradoxes and ambiguities of different competing agendas of regulation of work and employment, and exploring these in relation to different social actors within and across geographies is a significant step in advancing research in this area.
