Ausgehend von der Prämisse, dass bessere Arbeit zu besseren Gesellschaften führt, besteht die Aufgabe der Einleitung dieser Themenausgabe von Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research darin festzustellen, was Arbeit besser oder schlechter macht, und wie wir Arbeit verbessern können. Da eine Vielzahl von Versuchsanordnungen mitbestimmend für die zukünftige Ausgestaltung unserer Volkswirtschaften und Gemeinschaften ist, besteht eine wichtige Herausforderung darin, gemeinsam etwas über diese Prozesse zu lernen und auf diese Weise einen Dialog über den Wunsch nach besserer Arbeit und über die Rahmenbedingungen anzuregen, die eine Verbesserung von Arbeitsbedingungen eher erschweren oder eher unterstützen. Damit ist die Aufforderung verbunden, sich von zu eng gefassten Vorstellungen von Arbeitsplatzqualität zu verabschieden und stattdessen mit einer umfassenderen Perspektive danach zu fragen, wie die Akteure der Arbeitswelt strategisch und innovativ vorgehen und vorhandene Unsicherheiten zu einem Aspekt der Suche nach nachhaltigen Lösungen für eine bessere Arbeitswelt machen. Zu den Schlüsselthemen gehören die Fragen, warum Arbeit besser gemacht werden muss, stattdessen aber oft schlechter wird; warum bessere Arbeit zu besseren Gesellschaften führt; wie Arbeit besser gestaltet werden kann; welche Rolle bestimmte Institutionen bei der Verbesserung der Arbeitswelt übernehmen können; und schließlich die Frage, inwiefern Gewerkschaftsstrategien für experimentelle Prozesse zur Verbesserung von Arbeit essenziell sind.

This article seeks to advance our thinking about better and worse work by developing a novel framework for assessing the quality of work and its implications. It does so in terms of the wider literature on job quality, while addressing the need to embrace a broader agenda and a more dynamic understanding of how to make worse work better. To this end it presents a three-dimensional framework: risk, autonomy and expressiveness. The framework assesses better and worse work and the ways in which workers navigate between these different dimensions of their lives at work. We explore implications for actor strategies and for researchers to take a better-work agenda forward.

From the premise that better work makes for better societies, the challenge, taken up in the introduction to this special issue of Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, is to explore what makes work better, or worse, and how it can be improved. As a wide variety of experiments shape our economies and communities for the future, a key challenge is to engage in shared learning about these processes in order to stimulate a dialogue between the aspiration for better work and the conditions likely to hinder or facilitate making work better. It is an invitation to move from narrow conceptions of job quality to a broader lens of how world-of-work actors strategise, innovate and incorporate uncertainty into their search for sustainable solutions for better work. Key themes include: why work needs to be better (but is often worse); why better work makes for better societies; how work can be made better; the role of institutions in achieving better work; and, finally, how union strategies are essential to processes of experimentation to make work better.

Partant du principe que l’amélioration du travail contribue à l’amélioration des sociétés, le défi qu’entend mettre en évidence l’introduction de ce numéro spécial de Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research, consiste à déterminer ce qui rend le travail meilleur, ou pire, et comment il est possible de l’améliorer. Alors que des expériences très variées contribuent à façonner l’avenir de nos économies et de nos communautés, l’un des principaux enjeux consiste à s’engager dans un apprentissage partagé de ces processus afin de stimuler un dialogue entre l’aspiration à un meilleur travail et les conditions susceptibles de entraver ou de faciliter cette amélioration du travail. Cette démarche veut nous inciter à dépasser une conception étroite de la qualité de l’emploi pour adopter un point de vue plus large sur la manière dont les acteurs du monde du travail élaborent des stratégies, innovent et intègrent l’incertitude dans leur quête de solutions durables pour un travail de meilleure qualité. Les principaux thèmes de discussion sont les suivants : pourquoi le travail doit être meilleur (alors qu’il est souvent pire) ; pourquoi un meilleur travail permet-il d’améliorer les sociétés ; comment améliorer le travail ; quel est le rôle des institutions dans cette amélioration du travail ; comment, enfin, les stratégies syndicales sont-elles essentielles dans les processus d’expérimentation destinés à améliorer le travail.
假设劳动改善有助于改善公司的挑战,突出引进这个意思特刊Transfer: European Review of Labour and Research,在于确定。这使得工作最好或最坏的情况下,以及可以如何改进它。虽然有各种各样的经验,有助于塑造未来的经济和我们的社区面临的主要挑战之一是,投身学习分享的这些愿望之间对话进程,以刺激和更好的工作条件,这种改善可能阻碍或促进劳工。此举想诱使我们超越狭隘就业质量,采取一个更广泛的观点如何工作世界的参与者制定创新战略,并整合度在寻求持久解决办法为一个更好的工作。讨论的主要主题是:为什么工作必须更好(而往往更差);为什么更好的工作能改善社会;如何改进工作;机构在改善工作方面的作用是什么?最后，工会的策略在旨在改进工作的实验过程中是如何至关重要的。

Training is identified as a key feature of good quality work. Labour market education and training in the United Kingdom, however, operates within a weak institutional context and state interest is reserved for supply issues. Employer demand for a skilled labour market is constrained and the burden of investment in training is left with the individual. Can adult training in the United Kingdom offer a pathway to better work and life outcomes, particularly for those who are already disadvantaged? Using a longitudinal nationally representative data set, the UK Understanding Society initiative (2010–2020), we identify the effects of different types of training and their intensity on life satisfaction. We assess how the impact of training on life satisfaction is moderated by the socio-demographic characteristics of the learner, namely, employment status, gender, ethnicity and migration status, age and deprivation of the area in which they live.

This article argues that key avenues to improve working conditions – value chain integration, on the one hand, and lead firms’ compliance processes, on the other – have not resulted in improvements in the European apparel industry. Evidence is drawn from economic and social up-/downgrading trajectories in major apparel producing countries as well as a case study on social audits and labour market enforcement in the United Kingdom. Both suggest that institutions to prevent labour exploitation in supply chains have largely been ineffective. Institutional experimentation, which has been hybrid in combining hard and soft law as well as public and private governance elements, underlined the role of lead firms but continued to exclude civil society actors. It is argued that human rights due diligence, at the heart of many institutional experiments, draws on a deficient private compliance model, rather than building in worker-driven elements that could lead towards a better alternative.

The green transformation and Industry 4.0 are associated with considerable risks for workers in countries with dual labour markets such as Germany. The biggest risks are wage losses due to the involuntary transition into the precarious secondary labour market and insufficient education and training for the new ‘green’ jobs. Institutional reforms are necessary for a ‘just transition’. The ongoing reforms in Germany in education and training and wage setting show that the transition is a critical juncture in which new stakeholder constellations have the opportunity for non-path-dependent changes from a dual to an inclusive employment system with better work. The approaches adopted in recent German reforms are of overarching interest. Featuring the strongest manufacturing base in Europe, Germany is under particularly high pressure to fully embrace the green transformation and digitalisation. The country has learned from other countries and, conversely, can perhaps also help trigger a just transition in other countries.
