    The adaptation of hospitality and retail firms to the NMW: a focus on the impact of age-related clauses (2005)

    Notes: A lower national minimum wage for 18- to 21-year-olds and the exclusion of all workers under 18 prompted fears of a distortion in the British labour market and an undermining of training initiatives. Empirical data collected from employers in two low paying sectors, revealing the full utilisation of young workers and under-utilisation of training initiatives, ensure these fears are not justified and that the government's basis for the lower rate cannot be substantiated.

    Employee relations in the non-union hotel industry: a case of "determined opportunism"? (2004)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Personnel review 33 (2004), S. 693-710

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper examines employee relations management in a non-union sector, showing how employers in the hotel industry remain relatively free to manage in an arbitrary and determined fashion, in spite of an increasingly wide net of statutory employee rights. These management practices are effected in the way the workforce is structured, and in the differential treatment of workers in the same organisation. Notably "peripheral" unskilled workers, which are in the majority, are subjected to a more "hard" form of human resource management and are made more vulnerable from lack of eligibility to employment protection rights. Employers are not constrained from dismissing workers and fail to comply with many minimum legal requirements or observe the law in spirit. "Determined opportunism" represents an extreme instance of a "retaining control/cost-control" style of management.

    Youth, gender and part-time employment: A preliminary appraisal of student employment (1997)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Employee relations 19 (1997), S. 51-66

    Notes: Increasing numbers of full-time students at school, college and university are combining study with work in marginal, flexible, low- paid, part-time service jobs. The employment relationship is highly informal and the contract may simply be the product of coincidence, because the idea that employers follow a particular strategy with regard to the employment of labour, simplifies the complexities and vagaries of the labour market. Although this phenomenon is bringing more young males into the part-time labour force, young females remain disadvantaged in regard to the substantive terms of the effort/reward exchange. These factors necessitate a rethink and revision of the main theories of labour force analysis.

    A coincidence of needs?: Employers and full-time students (2001)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Employee relations 23 (2001), S. 38-54

    Notes: Employers' demands for cheap and flexible labour which can multi-task, make decisions and act responsibly are being met by an increasing supply of students to the part-time labour market who are having to work due to financial necessity during term-time. This article details the results of a survey and focus group study conducted at Manchester Metropolitan University in February 1999 addressing the nature of this employment relationship. Students' employment provides them with advantages other than money - valuable work experience, the opportunity to meet people and to take on responsibility. Employers benefit from an easily recruited workforce of intelligent, articulate young people who are numerically and functionally flexible, conscientious, accepting relatively low pay, and who are easy to control. Potential conflict is indicated as students do articulate dislikes about their work and employment conditions, yet they feel unable to challenge their employers about them.

    Part-time student labour: strategic choice or pragmatic response? (1996)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of contemporary hospitality management 8 (1996), S. 21-24

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Increasing proportions of students are working part-time in industries such as hospitality. To understand more about this phenomenon, 11 case studies of hospitality establishments employing a significant proportion of students were compiled by matching data provided by managers and students working in these establishments. Concludes that employers' employment of student labour could be a combination of strategic choice and pragmatic response - a kind of pragmatic strategy that may be tantamount to a "coincidence of varying interests".

    Fragments of HRM in hospitality? Evidence from the 1998 workplace employee relations survey (2002)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of contemporary hospitality management 14 (2002), S. 207-212 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-6119
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Using management and employee data from the 1998 workplace employee relations survey, this article attempts to trace "fragments of HRM" within the hospitality industry (HI) on a comparative basis with all industries and services (AIS) in Great Britain. Four themes are explored: how the management of HRM is organised and practised, "individualism" and "collectivism", participation and involvement, and other "sophisticated" HR practices. The impact of HRM on employees is assessed. HRM in the HI is found to be very different, thus providing an extreme example of the "retaining control/cost control" approach to management, and a graphic illustration of very "hard" HRM in practice. While HI employees are much more content with their lot than their counterparts in AIS who are subject to rather more "favourable" HRM policies and practices, other indicators imply that there is also dissatisfaction. Qualitative research is necessary to understand whether employees really do enjoy being "kicked hard". Management might reap greater benefits by adopting more developmental, "soft" HRM practices.

    Wages council abolition and small hotels (1996)
    Bingley : Emerald
    International journal of contemporary hospitality management 8 (1996), S. 10-14 
    Details
    ISSN: 0959-6119
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Reports on a project measuring the impact of the abolition of minimum rates of pay on pay rates and the methods used to determine pay in the hotel sector. Places emphasis on differences between small independently managed hotels and hotels operated as part of a nationwide chain. Following abolition, rates of pay have been found to have declined throughout the industry with the rate of decline more appreciable in small rather than group- operated hotels. Illustrates that the pay policy of small hotels was heavily influenced by the former statutory requirements and that as a result of their withdrawal, pay rates have fallen. Reports that a relationship between the criteria used to determine pay and pay outcomes also seems to exist. Also notes that group hotels take into account a wider range of factors than small hotels which place greater emphasis on internal considerations. Concludes that size and ownership of establishment as a structural characteristic impacts on pay levels and pay policy within the hotel sector.
