Similarity or Variation? Employee Representation and Consultation Approaches amongst Liberal Market Economy Multinationals

Abstract: Résumé de l'article En s'appuyant sur la littérature sur les variétés du capitalisme (VdC), cet article étudie les approches de représentation et de consultation des employés adoptées par des multinationales implantées dans des économies de marché libérales, plus précisément des multinationales australiennes, britanniques et américaines en opération en Australie. Bien que la littérature semble suggérer l'existence d'une similarité parmi ces sociétés, l'article tente de déterminer si les faits confirment une si… Show more

“…For instance, MNEs originating from the United States pursue individualistic or direct employee involvement or voice practices (Gunnigle, Collings and Morley ; McDonnell et al. ) compared to most less developed countries. Ollo‐López, Bayo‐Moriones and Larraza‐Kintana () found countries with high individualism, high uncertainty avoidance, low power distance and low masculinity, experience high indirect employee involvement.…”

“…Trade union recognition in less developed economies is likely to be a standard practice (see Debrah ) compared to advanced economies like the United States, where there are significant avenues for the adoption of union avoidance strategies (McDonnell et al. ). Debrah () and Otoo, Osei‐Boateng and Asafu‐Adjaye () contend that in most less developed countries, and especially Ghana, the regulatory framework or system leaves little or no room for organizations to avoid trade unions.…”

“…Non‐unionised recognition is becoming an important alternative and a strategic option for MNE subsidiaries established as greenfield sites and, more specifically, for MNEs originating from liberal market economies (LMEs) such the United States, the UK, Ireland, Australia and Canada (McDonnell et al ., ; Gunnigle et al ., ). LMEs are characterised by individualistic, enterprise or workplace‐based bargaining arrangements and limited employee protections as compared with coordinated market economies (CMEs) where there is an emphasis on collective representation and industry and economy‐wide bargaining arrangements (McDonnell et al ., ). The literature suggests that MNEs are constantly seeking ways to bypass unions (see Dundon, ; Gall, ).…”

“…Third, host country institutional dimensions identified in this article will provide HR managers and academic researchers with an insight into those host country conditions in Ghana that are likely to be critical in undermining HRM practice development within large local firms and MNE subsidiaries. Finally, understanding the dimensions of a less‐developed host country's macro‐institutional conditions through an exploratory qualitative study design provides a new perspective to the international and comparative HRM literature as many studies have been dominated by quantitative studies (McDonnell, Boyle, Bartram, Stanton, & Burgess, ). One advantage of an exploratory qualitative study design is that it includes a more enriched and nuanced analysis of a host country's macro‐institutional conditions, which many HRM studies have failed to explore.…”
