Workers, Industrial Relations and Social Politics: General Orientations and Attitudes

Irena Hradecká¹

Abstract: While most of the recent industrial relations analyses have dealt with the positions and activities of managers, in the present research project, both workers and managers are considered in light of their opinion on the forms and functioning of the industrial relations. The aim of the main part of the project (a survey carried out in middle-and large-sized companies through an extended questionnaire, with 582 respondents) was to explore relations between the above mentioned issue and the political or socio-pol… Show more

The article presents findings on changes in 1. the social position and functions, 2. the mentality and "ideology" of managers and 3. their intraorganizational coalitions with employees. Based on deep semi-structured interviews with 60 top and personal managers and 60 workers and Trade Union officials from large and medium-sized industrial enterprises, the results can be used to improve industrial relations within the societal transformation.

This paper brings an overview of theoretical -economic and sociological -approaches to gender differences in the labour market. Major shortcomings of these theories are underscored using Czech and foreign empirical studies. The empirical part of the study is based on gender theories that highlight the influence of biases concerning the female labour force on the behaviour of employers, employees and those preparing for employment. Based on data from empirical research, we explore the existence of these biases among Czech university graduates. An interpretation of a lower position of women in the labour market which is held by the educational elite is also investigated. For that purpose, the collected data are analysed in a quantitative statistical as well as qualitative explorative way. The results showed that women often tend to interpret gender differences in the labour market, such as payment differences and the segregation of men and women into different labour sectors, branches, professions, firms, work collectives and positions, as discriminatory, while men interpret them more often as a result of women's nature. Although comparable data among the whole Czech population were not available, results of the research on university graduates (employers, employees, superiors and employees without subordinates) indicate that it is possible to use theories that highlight biases as a source of gender discrimination in the labour market as a basis for the research of the lower position of women in the current Czech labour market.

The paper interprets factors of corporate performance identified by means of statistical pattern recognition techniques. A Dependency-Aware Feature algorithm with non-linear regression model ranked 74 potential factors of corporate performance according to their contribution to corporate performance prediction. This paper brings consecutive statistical analyses, which interpret the effects of Strategy, FDI, Share of Export, Top Management Performance Pay, and Workers' Performance Pay on corporate performance. Furthermore, the analyses reveal strong mutual moderating interdependencies. On the national scale, the paper brings evidence that the companies from the industries researched can use the stational techniques to learn about corporate performance factors. On a global scale, the paper introduces the contribution of Dependency-Aware Feature selection in the field of management and confirms the need for a multidimensional contingency approach in researching corporate performance. The results are based on a sample of 432 private limited or joint stock companies located in the Czech Republic operating in the manufacturing and construction industries and employing 50 or more people.
