Answer to Question #276072 in Management for Shelley

Question

discuss the convergence debate of employment relations in European countries such as UK, Sweden and Germany as depicted in case study "Converging or Diverging? A Comparative Analysis of Trends in Contingent Employment Practice in Europe over a Decade"

Answer 1

The susceptibility of contingent employment practice to both convergent and divergent pressures acts as a useful analytical lens. Data are drawn from organizations operating in Germany, Spain, Sweden, the Netherlands and the UK in 1991 (2918 organizations), 1995 (2048 organizations) and 2000 (1555 organizations).The results suggest that convergence is limited by the institutional embeddedness of organizations.
