    Notes: Labour flexibility is a central theme of management's rhetoric in Greece. At the same time the securing of greater flexibility has been identified by policy makers as a central component of industrial relations reform. In spite of this endowing of flexibility with major significance there is a marked absence of empirical data indicating the growth of flexibility at the Greek workplace. This paper entails an examination of the extent to which private companies in Greece have adopted crucial aspects of flexibility such as decentralized bargaining, pay, working time and employee participation. Our research analyzed management data from a survey of 22 manufacturing establishments and compares them with relevant European data. Main findings indicate a considerable gap between rhetoric and flexibility implementation in actual practice.

    Labour flexibility in Greek SMEs (2004)

    Notes: The issue of labour flexibility has sparked controversy in Greece. This empirical study sheds light on workplace flexibility in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that employ the vast majority of workers in Greece. The study tries to assess the extent to which Greek SMEs resort to external and internal labour flexibility arrangements to cope with increasing competition and the way they react to recent flexibility-oriented legislation. The survey is based on case studies and draws heavily on face-to-face interviews with 16 small proprietors. It is found that SMEs make little use of external flexibility. Rather they rely on internal flexibility, which stems from extensive Webs of informal employee relations. However, the nature of "informality" varies in small enterprises leading them to adopt different modes of absorbing institutional change.

    Atypical working incorporate Greece (2003)

    Notes: The issue of non-standard forms of employment has sparked controversy in Greece. At the same time the expansion of atypical employment has been identified by policy makers as a central component of economic policy in combating high unemployment. However, there is a marked absence of empirical studies on this issue. This study sheds light on contractual flexibility surveying thirty establishments. The survey used an employer questionnaire to assess the extent to which Greek employers have engaged in various forms of atypical employment as well as the driving forces and managerial perceptions of the pertinent institutional framework. Results reveal that temporary work is the primary source of contractual flexibility, and that this is mainly used to adjust corporate capacity to demand variations, not to cut labour costs. Managerial discontent with governmental legislation on working time flexibility has led employers to embrace the EU's flexibility-security approach through collective bargaining.

    Working students at Greek universities (2005)

    Notes: Purpose - Greece has the highest youth unemployment rate in the European Union. Even though it is clear that persistent unemployment requires bold measures in engaging young educated Greeks in the labour market, there is no coherent policy targeting that population group, especially university students. This research paper aims to explore the idea of restructuring the internal labour market in Greek universities by expanding services and offering part-time job positions to their students. Design/methodology/approach - In assessing the feasibility of such a project a survey was conducted involving 237 undergraduate students majoring in business management and 22 administrative executives at the University of Macedonia, Greece. Findings - The survey's main findings indicate that there is a tendency to match job openings with skills supplied by students in a work-school programme focused on campus part-time jobs. Research limitations/implications - A large-scale national survey involving students from various academic disciplines and executives from different universities would result in a more informed discussion on institutions that promote youth employment. Originality/value - This study has shown that a work-study programme promoting work opportunities on campus is plausible in Greece and might have great value for key stakeholders - students and universities.

    The Productivity Slowdown in Postwar Greece (1995)

    Notes: Abstract. This article examines the two contrasting phases of labour productivity in postwar Greece. We present a model of trended labour productivity that synthesises mainstream technical factors, institutional arguments based on the social structure of accumulation framework, and Abramovitz's catch-up hypothesis. The model is empirically estimated and the labour productivity growth is found to be sensitive to changes in capital intensity, proxies of power relations in the labour market, and a productivity convergence indicator.
