Aims & Scope
The world of work is changing in fundamental ways as the processes of globalization unfold. Profound changes in international capital, product, and labor market institutions are occurring, which have sparked new approaches to business strategies, organizational designs, policies and practices, and work and employment relations. These are challenging issues to examine both theoretically and empirically.
The Industrial & Labor Relations Review is particularly interested in promoting research that analyzes these contemporary issues of concern to organizations and working people. We welcome research on a wide range of issues, including
• The changing nature of work and technology
• The functioning of labor markets: employment, unemployment, wage determination, and equality
• Product market deregulation and employment relations
• Capital market regulation, corporate governance, and employment relations
• Labor mobility and migration patterns and policies
• Compensation systems
• Globalization and changing work and employment relations
• Labor markets and employment relations in emerging market economies
• Alternative approaches to human resource management and performance
• Comparative international analyses of work and labor relations
• Gender, race, and ethnic dimensions of labor markets and employment relations
• Innovation, HR management, labor relations, and performance
• Economic development and labor
• Union revitalization
• Work-Life integration
• International labor standards
