    Mutual expectations: a study of the three-way relationship between employment agencies, their client organisations and white-collar agency ‘temps’ (2004)
    Oxford, UK and Malden, USA : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper examines the mutual expectations of employment agencies, the temporary workers who are placed by them and the client or host companies with whom they are placed. It considers the ambiguities and complexities inherent in the psychological contracts of agency temps, pointing to positive dimensions of the agency relationship with temps coupled with a tough transactional regime. In periods of uncertainty agency temping provided individuals with an illusion of freedom and control.

    Constructing a new reward strategy: Reward management in the British construction industry (1997)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Employee relations 19 (1997), S. 128-146 
    Details
    ISSN: 0142-5455

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Reviews reward management practice in the construction industry, based on a postal survey of larger construction firms. The research results provide little evidence of thorough-going use of reward management to encourage and reinforce organizational change. Collective agreements survive for manual employees. Non-manual employees are loosely grouped in broad-banded grading structures with significant scope for managerial discretion in the treatment of individual salaries. However, there is little evidence of developed performance management systems. The absence of more formalized reward systems may provide a short-term benefit in allowing considerable flexibility but may have negative implications for long-term productivity, the control of wage costs and the availability of skills. Given the uneven gender balance, existing pay systems could also give rise to claims for equal pay.

    Misunderstood and Undervalued? Personnel Management In Construction (1995)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Human resource management journal 5 (1995), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1748-8583

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Janet Druker and Geoffrey White, principal lecturer and senior lecturer respectively in the Business School at the University of Greenwich, draw on interviews and on a postal survey of personnel managers in the construction industry, to consider the role and responsibilities of personnel practitioners in construction. They point to the changing balance of employment within the construction firm and the greater involvement of personnel with non-manual employees. They highlight the importance of various forms of sub-contracting as a means of strengthening management control at site level. They suggest that the centrally located personnel function may well be close to strategy makers but ultimately the role was found to be advisory with a limited capacity for direct intervention.
