ABSTRACT Examining the ways that industries survived the COVID-19 pandemic can teach us a great deal about the resilience of value chains, the ways value chain dynamics shape worker resilience, and the measures states can adopt to support both. In this paper we critically examine the thriving body of theory known broadly as supply chain resilience and explore a branch that embraces socio-ecological perspectives. We first develop a theoretical model that takes what we perceive to be the most fruitful elements of these literatures for industrial relations scholarship and bring it together with approaches tangential to industrial relations concerned with value chain actor and worker agency and resilience. We then apply this model in an analysis of the Australian commercial cleaning sector during the pandemic. Finally, we assess federal and state measures to assist and “buffer” employment and the economy in Australia, including JobKeeper and JobSeeker. We find that these government measures, combined with earlier restructuring of the labour market and restrictive immigration policies, provided the institutional scaffolding for the failure of the cleaning industry during the pandemic, exactly when cleaning became an essential service for the resilience of the whole of society.

ABSTRACT New Zealand is a relatively low wage economy but living costs are high and rising. One government response has been to accelerate the Minimum Wage (MW) which is now converging on the Living Wage (LW) rate. This paper explores employer attitudes and practices regarding the LW, in the context of the rising MW and Covid disruption, based on a survey of over 600 organisations. Motivation for adopting the LW simultaneously derived from ethical considerations of fairness, especially given higher living costs, and prospective returns such as better recruitment, retention and motivation in the context of tighter labour markets. Implementing the LW had mixed employment effects with benefits more likely to accrue to larger organisations. However, difficulties relating to wage differentials were also more acute in larger firms. Where affordability inhibited the full restoration of wage differentials, which were narrowing in many organisations due to the higher MW or adoption of the LW, this resulted in a perceived inequity for relatively higher paid employees. The findings highlight how perceptions of ‘fairness’ may vary. This could limit the wider adoption or potential gains arising from the LW, and employment relation processes need to be configured to defuse such potential indirect effects.

ABSTRACT This paper highlights the contribution of archival data and historical methods to impactful research in industrial relations, the sociology of work, management studies and Human Resource Management. Whilst archival methods are widely used in some of these fields of research, there has also been considerable debate in these fields over the challenges of conducting impactful research using archival data. The paper draws on archival records from the National Archives in the UK to explore the evolving relationship between private temporary employment agencies and the state over the 1980s. The paper highlights how the actions of specific labour market actors, particularly lobbying activities by private agencies, and the changing economic and political climate over the 1980s, impacted on perceptions and attitudes within government towards temporary employment agencies. In doing so, the paper sheds new light on the early evolution of what are now recognised as important dynamics shaping the contemporary employment agency industry.

ABSTRACT Management scholars increasingly focus their efforts on the development of neurodivergent human capital and the promotion of inclusive employment and decent work. However, it may be argued that existing research still suffers from the lack of a comprehensive appreciation of what neurominorities may find difficult in the research process or how they interpret what the researchers are doing. In the light of only fragmented advice about how qualitative research with neurominorities should be conducted, this short research note aims to promote effective and inclusive qualitative research that ensures that the specific needs of neurominorities are taken into account throughout the entire research pathway. Building on the existing literature and my own reflections, I call on qualitative management scholars to engage in research that is truly impactful at multiple levels by re-considering how they make impact on those who traditionally have less voice or power.

ABSTRACT Globally, New Public Management reforms have transformed work in many areas of the public sector. A key aspect of these reforms has been devolution: the provision of greater local autonomy over resources and decision making as part of a broader decentralisation strategy. Important questions about managers’ work in devolved settings, not in the least in public education, remain to be addressed. The 2012–18 ‘Local Schools, Local Decisions’ reform to public education in the Australian state of New South Wales was framed by familiar aims: to achieve ‘efficiency and effectiveness’ through greater local control. Recognising principals as the nexus of this ostensible local authority, principals’ work in the final stages of the reform’s implementation were investigated. Through the utilisation of labour process theory to examine tensions in this focal employment relationship, three key control mechanisms in the work of principals were identified: a reduction of the indeterminacy gap through principals’ management of resources; the degradation of work under devolution; and the legitimation of the state through principals’ work.

ABSTRACT This research documents multidimensional facets of public value provided by public sector employment in regional Australia. Evidence and estimates of the contribution and impact of public sector employment to regional labour markets and economic activity are documented for the Illawarra, South Coast and Capital regions of New South Wales, Australia. Using a mixed methods approach, results presented illustrate that public sector employment embodies a significantly larger proportion of total employment and economic activity in most regional labour markets compared to Greater Sydney or Australia in general. Other analyses reveal both counter-seasonal and countercyclical contributions of public sector income and spending to regional economic activity. The main finding of this research is that public sector employment provides a stable foundation to regional economies that are otherwise strongly influenced by seasonal patterns associated with tourism and agriculture. The importance of public sector employment to the regional economies has been amplified in recent crisis periods associated with large scale bushfires and COVID-19.

ABSTRACT While the world of work has long been juxtaposed against private, domestic spaces, in recent years the line between the two spheres has become increasingly blurred. This is especially the case when considering the relationship between domestic violence and the workplace, which is not only affected by the intrusion of domestic violence into the workplace but compounded by the increasing amount of work conducted from home. These intersections between domestic violence and work have been subject to mounting scrutiny in recent years, resulting in calls for policy changes that acknowledge domestic violence to be a workplace issue and which develop an appropriate employer response accordingly. This article offers a case study of DVFREE, a domestic violence workplace program delivered by specialist domestic violence organisation Shine in Aotearoa New Zealand. DVFREE adopts a systems-approach to instantiate and support structural change within an organisation. We consider the New Zealand specific-context, before offering a series of practice recommendations that address why and how employers can support employees experiencing domestic violence, drawing our conclusions from knowledge gained through the implementation of the DVFREE initiative. This knowledge offers an important, hitherto largely absent, perspective to research in this field, providing much-needed practical steps for employers.
