▼ En la presente tesis se realiza un estudio teórico y empírico de la relación entre los estilos de liderazgo transformacional (TL) y el compromiso organizativo (OC). Estos dos conceptos son examinados como constructos multidimensionales y se han evaluado empíricamente en una población de habla francesa. El objetivo principal de este estudio es examinar los mecanismos mediante los cuales las dimensiones de TL influyen en las diferentes formas de OC analizando el posible papel mediador de la calidad de la relación entre líder y miembro de la organización (LMX). La tesis consta de seis capítulos: El primer capítulo introduce los conceptos de la TL, OC y LMX y la motivación para esta investigación. Se ofrece una breve exposición de los antecedentes y se expone el propósito y los objetivos específicos de cada capítulo. En el segundo capítulo, se reporta el estudio y la discusión de la relación entre los estilos de liderazgo y dimensiones de OC. Se ha realizado una extensa revisión de la literatura sobre la relación entre TL y OC. Aunque investigaciones previas indican que el TL se asocia positivamente con OC en una variedad de contextos organizacionales y culturas, hay poca investigación empírica sobre la relación entre estilos de liderazgo y las diferentes dimensiones de liderazgo transformacional. En el tercer capítulo, se traduce al francés el transformational leadership questionnaire (TLQ) (Rafferty y Griffin, 2004). También se evaúla la validez y fiabilidad de este nuevo instrumento con dos muestras de poblaciones de habla francesa (Túnez y Francia). La consistencia interna se evaluó mediante el coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. La validez de constructo se verificó mediante los análisis factoriales exploratorio y confirmatorio. Los resultados apoyan un modelo de cuatro factores de TLQ que consiste en la visión, el liderazgo de apoyo, estímulo intelectual y reconocimiento personal. La escala así obtenida ha mostrado propiedades psicométricas adecuadas y han proporcionado apoyo preliminar para la validez de constructo de la versión francesa propuesta del TLQ. En el cuarto capítulo, el organizational commitment questionnaire (OCQ) (Meyer et al, 1993; Powell y Meyer, 2004) se tradujo al francés, y se ha evaluado la validez y fiabilidad de este instrumento con las dos muestras de poblaciones de habla francesa. Los resultados han apoyado un modelo de 4 factores de OCQ del cuestionario original. Estos hallazgos han mostrado propiedades psicométricas adecuadas y han proporcionado apoyo preliminar para la validez de constructo de la versión francesa propuesta del OCQ. En el quinto capítulo, se proponen algunos modelos que tienen en cuenta las diferentes dimensiones del TL y el OC son propuestos y evaluados empíricamente, teniendo en cuenta el papel mediador del LMX. Para verificar los modelos, se consideran dos tipos de pruebas de validez: la validez convergente y la validez discriminante. Para probar las relaciones directas, se utiliza la correlación de Pearson y los coeficientes beta del modelo estructural.

▼ Hoy en día, debido a que las condiciones económicas y políticas cambian rápidamente, las empresas globales se enfrentan a un desafío continuo para reevaluar constantemente y configurar de forma óptima las operaciones de su cadena de suministro (CS) para alcanzar los índices de rendimiento clave, tales como la reducción de costes de rentabilidad y servicio al cliente. Las empresas buscan optimizar sus CSs en respuesta a presiones de la competencia o para adquirir ventaja de una mayor flexibilidad en las restricciones sobre todo en el comercio mundial. Las industrias de proceso también siguen esta tendencia. La comunidad que investiga la ingeniería de los sistemas de procesos ha sido consciente de este cambio y, hoy en día, está jugando un papel clave en la expansión de los límites de los sistemas más allá de los procesos químicos para incluir también los sistemas de negocio. La optimización global de una red CS es una tarea extremadamente compleja. Por esta razón, las decisiones CS por lo general contemplan tres niveles de decisión: operativo (programación de operaciones), táctico (planificación de la producción) y estratégico (diseño). La planificación de la producción y la programación de operaciones constituyen una parte crucial de los niveles de decisión jerarquizados de la CS completa. Las actividades de planificación y programación tratan de la asignación en el tiempo de los recursos escasos entre actividades que compiten para satisfacer de forma eficiente dichas necesidades. Más concretamente, la función de planificación tiene como objetivo optimizar el rendimiento económico de la empresa, ya que debe hacer coincidir la producción con la demanda de la mejor manera posible. El componente de programación de la producción es de vital importancia ya que es la capa que traduce los imperativos económicos del plan en una secuencia de acciones a ser ejecutadas en la planta, con el fin de ofrecer el rendimiento económico optimizado previsto por el plan de alto nivel. En general, las investigaciones recientes se dirigen a la búsqueda de soluciones que permitan un manejo eficiente y preciso de problemas de gran tamaño y de complejidad cada vez mayor. Sin embargo, queda mucho trabajo por hacer tanto en las mejoras del modelo como en las mejoras en los algoritmos de solución del problema, cuando se trata de abordar de manera rutinaria problemas relevantes para la industria, donde el software producido debe ser utilizado de manera regular por los profesionales en el campo. Además, los nuevos desarrollos académicos son en su mayoría de cierta complejidad, pero relativamente de pequeño tamaño comparados con los problemas industriales incluso de mediano tamaño. Por lo tanto, la aplicación de nuevas estrategias de producción y nuevos enfoques de programación en los estudios industriales en la vida real constituye un reto difícil. Como la mayoría de los desarrollos académicos están demasiado lejos del entorno de aplicabilidad industrial, el objetivo de esta tesis es dar un paso significativo … Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Puigjaner Corbella, Lluís (director), Georgiadis, M.

▼ El terme Models de Negoci és un concepte àmpliament utilitzat a la literatura acadèmica en l'àmbit d’administració i direcció d’empreses que, durant els últims anys, ha centrat l’atenció d’acadèmics i practicants. Els Models de Negoci han emergit amb força com un mecanisme per a la innovació i per a la creació i captura de valor en les empreses. Recentment, han anat apareixent tot un seguit de metodologies que tenen l’objectiu de facilitar l’estudi i la comprensió dels Models de Negoci, així com el seu disseny i innovació. De forma específica, cadascuna de les eines existents està dissenyada per tenir una aplicabilitat òptima en sectors empresarials concrets. Les startups, entitats temporals, dinàmiques i vives que busquen anar canviant i transformant el seu Model de Negoci per fer-lo rentable, escalable i repetible, no tenen encara una metodologia optimitzada i específica que permeti tenir en compte la seva idiosincràsia a l’hora d’estudiar el Model de Negoci. Per les seves característiques, són empreses que han de fer front a tot un seguit de problemes que les fan diferents a les grans empreses. Aquesta tesi doctoral es desenvolupa al voltant dels tres pilars anteriorment citats (els Models de Negoci, les metodologies i les startups) i té l’objectiu concret de desenvolupar una nova metodologia de disseny i innovació de Models de Negoci que estigui específicament optimitzada per al cas de les startups. Mitjançant una àmplia i exhaustiva revisió de la literatura, la tesi situa l’estat de l’art, desenvolupa un seguit de preguntes d’investigació i estableix el conjunt de proposicions teòriques a validar. Seguint les teories i indicacions de la metodologia qualitativa, queda validat que els Models de Negoci són importants i es poden estudiar mitjançant eines específiques, que les startups tenen unes característiques particulars i habitualment han de fer front a un seguit de problemes que minimitzen les seves probabilitats d'èxit i que és possible desenvolupar una nova eina de disseny i innovació de Models de Negoci que resolgui les mancances i limitacions de les existents. Aquesta validació empírica s’aconsegueix utilitzant el mètode del cas i la tècnica concreta de les entrevistes en profunditat. D’aquesta forma, s’estudien tres startups concretes que permeten obtenir els resultats i conclusions presentats a la tesi: una startup d’èxit, una startup que encara està en una fase de transició i una startup que ha fracassat. Els resultats es detallen en forma d'un conjunt d’avantatges que s’aconsegueixen amb el correcte estudi dels Models de Negoci, d’un llistat de característiques principals de les startups i d’una agrupació de problemes als que habitualment han de fer front. Finalment, la tesi conclou amb la presentació i desenvolupament de la nova eina. Aquesta, s’ha plantejat amb uns fonaments conceptuals diferents respecte totes les metodologies existents. Parteix d’una agrupació àmplia dels problemes habituals d’una startup, resol les mancances i limitacions que presenten les metodologies actuals i es postula com una… Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Coll Bertran, Josep (director), Solé Parellada, Francesc (codirector), true (authorsendemail).

▼ En aquesta tesis es porta a terme un estudi teòric i empíric de la relació entre el compromís organitzatiu (OC), la intenció de romandre (IS) i el comportament ciutadà (OCB), en individus que tenen dues ocupacions a la vegada (una de principal i una de secundària). El compromís organitzatiu s’estudia com un constructe multidimensional (de quatre dimensions: AC, CCHiSac, CCLoAlt i NC). El principal objectiu és el d’estudiar com el compromís organitzatiu de l’ocupació principal, influeix sobre els resultats intenció de romandre i comportament ciutadà tant en la primera com en la segona ocupació, i com el compromís organitzatiu de la segona ocupació influeix sobre la intenció de romandre i comportament ciutadà de la segona ocupació i de la primera. Aquests constructes (OC, IS i OCB) s’ha provat en un entorn de professors universitaris associats de parla catalana. La present tesi està formada per sis capítols: El primer capítol és de caràcter introductori. S’apunta el concepte de treball contingent, compromís organitzatiu, intenció de romandre i comportament ciutadà, així com la motivació d¿aquesta recerca. Es presenta un breu resum del treball científic anterior sobre aquests conceptes i s'exposen els objectius i finalitats específics de cada capítol. En el segon capítol es porta a terme l’estudi i discussió de la relació entre compromís organitzatiu, intenció de romandre i comportament ciutadà, així com les dimensions que formen el constructe multidimensional de compromís organitzatiu. Es fa una recerca bibliogràfica amb l’objectiu d’entendre aquests conceptes i la seva interacció. Tot i que hi ha molta recerca a l’entorn del OC, IS i OCB, aquesta sempre es realitza en un entorn clàssic (i.e., ocupació de llarga durada, a temps complert). En canvi hi ha molt poca recerca que estudií el compromís organitzatiu en un entorn de pluriocupació. Es realitzen algunes crítiques a la recerca teòrica i empírica prèvia i es proposen línies de recerca futura. En el tercer capítol es tradueixen les escales de mesura d¿OC (Meyer et al., 1993; Powell i Meyer, 2004), IS (Gellatly et al., 2006) i OCB (Choi, 2007) de l’anglès al català, mitjançant la tècnica de traducció inversa. Es prova la validesa i fiabilitat en una mostra de professors associats, tant per a la seva primera com per la segona ocupació de forma simultània. Els resultats donen validesa al constructe unidimensional de IS i OCB i al constructe multidimensional de quatre factors d’OC. Aquest darrer consisteix en compromís afectiu, compromís de continuïtat en relació a la percepció d’un alt sacrifici de deixar l’actual ocupació (CCHiSac), compromís de continuïtat en relació a la percepció de falta d’alternatives a l’actual ocupació i compromís normatiu. Els resultats ens mostren unes propietats psicosomètriques adequades i ens donen suport preliminar a la validesa de la versió en català dels constructes OC, IS i OCB. En el quart capítol es proposa el model d’investigació d’aquesta tesi així com les hipòtesis que es volen contrastar.

▼ Actualment, són molts els sistemes productius en els quals la fabricació o muntatge, de tota o part de la producció, es duu a terme en línies de producció. A mes, l’exigència actual del mercat fa que cada vegada sigui mes necessari que les companyies ofereixin una gran varietat de productes amb diferents opcions. Aquesta situació podem trobar-la fàcilment al sector de l’automòbil, on es fabriquen diferents tipus de productes, que malgrat pertànyer a la mateixa família, posseeixen diferents característiques i requereixen, per tant, diferent consum de components i ús de recursos. En efecte, no tots els vehicles porten el mateix tipus de motor i no tots els vehicles estan equipats amb els mateixos components, tant interiors com a exteriors. Un clar exemple d’aquest tipus de línies de productes mixtos (MMAL, Mixed-Model Assembly Lines) són les línies de motors o les línies d’assemblatge on s’incorporen els diferents components (seients, pedals) al cos del vehicle. Aquesta varietat a la gamma de productes, provoca la necessitat que les línies de producció o muntatge actuals siguin flexibles i, per tant, puguin adaptar-se a la diversitat de tipus de productes que es realitzen en elles, sense incórrer en costos excessius. Així, amb l’objectiu de flexibilitzar i reduir costos, tant de mà d’obra com de manipulació i emmagatzematge, les línies de muntatge de productes mixtos presenten dos problemes bàsics: (1) l’equilibrat de la línia i (2) la seqüenciació d’unitats de productes mixts. Dins d’aquests últims es troba el problema, objecte d’estudi d’aquesta tesi, conegut dins la literatura com MMSP (Mixed-Model Sequencing Problem). Aquest problema consisteix en establir un ordre de fabricació dels productes amb l’objectiu de: (1) minimitzar els nivells d’estoc de productes i components; (2) minimitzar la sobrecàrrega de treball o la quantitat de treball no completat; o (3) minimitzar el nombre de sub-seqüencies amb opcions especials. Concretament, en aquesta tesi s’estudia el problema de seqüències de productes mixtos, dins línies de producció, que minimitzen el treball no completat o sobrecàrrega (MMSP-W: Mixed-Model Sequencing Problem withWorkload Minimisation). En efecte, amb l’objectiu d’orientar el problema de la literatura no només a la millora de la productivitat, sinó també a la millora de les condicions laborals dels operaris de la línia, s’estudien quatre variants, en les quals s’incorporen aspectes propis de les situacions reals que es donen en els sistemes productius actuals. La primera variant estudiada, a mes de considerar estacions de treball disposades en sèrie i, per tant, vinculades entre si, considera la possibilitat que en una mateixa estació puguin concórrer diversos processadors homogenis, així com la possibilitat que totes les estacions puguin retenir totes les unitats de producte un temps superior al temps de cicle, amb la finalitat de completar el treball requerit. Aquesta variant donarà com a resultat dos models matemàtics equivalents, els objectius dels quals es basaran en l’optimització de la… Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Bautista Valhondo, Joaquín (director), true (authorsendemail).

▼ The present thesis examines the operation of Employment Tribunals (ETs) from employment professionals’ perspective, a topical issue due to recent legislative changes (introduced in April 2012, July 2013 and April 2014) which brought back to the fore issues which either tend to be ignored or were partially resolved a few years after their establishment (i.e. the question of offering informality, speed and so on). Its rationale is rooted in the likelihood that the transition from collegial workplace support, union representation and union mobilisation to less supportive external environments (such as the ETs) will be a negative experience for workers. In the literature, there is a gap with regard to how the transition from work to external bodies is experienced by workers. I have applied Budd and Colvin’s framework, a solid, well-conceptualised, complete framework which examines the effectiveness of dispute resolution (DR) systems, based on three important standards: equity, efficiency and voice. This particular topic is worthy of exploration because there is an imperative need to pay more attention to the ‘weakest’ party in an employment dispute settlement, namely the worker, especially considering the effects of the current crisis in the employment sector. Employment belongs to everybody. However, it appears that employees’ rights have become seriously threatened during these last decades. Additionally, the study made a considerable contribution to the field of employment relations by demonstrating the whole journey from the time a workplace conflict arises until its resolution in ETs. I collected the insights of important employment professionals (through eighteen expert interviews and a phenomegraphic approach) who shared their intimate tribunal experience. Mainly, workers were not chosen for interview, partly since employment professionals provided a thorough overview of the situation, based on their wide experience and their specific knowledge of laws and also because of workers’ poor emotional state prior to and at the end of each ET hearing. Most importantly, the study resulted in the refinement of Budd and Colvin’s (2008) conceptual framework as well as the proposal of seven policy recommendations for an effective ET system.

▼ By bringing together trans-nationalism and labour process studies my research develops an understanding of migrant labour that re-evaluates the social and political potential of migrants’ everyday relationships in, across and beyond their workplaces. It shows that, although increasing casualisation of employment limits workers’ organisational resources, growing diversity and mobility also prompts alternative modes of resistance to improve the lives of transient workers. The challenges this research poses for unions include overcoming the persisting ‘masculine politics’ of organising models, expanding their coalitions beyond an ‘industry-based’ strategy, and engaging directly with migrants’ communities to promote self-organising through alternative educational tools.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate PRP practices in Thailand where is a collectivist society whereas PRP schemes are initiated from the Western management based on individualism. The research focused on the differences between two groups of employees working under PRP plans. Also the study examined the elements of PRP and work-related aspects (teamwork, career advancement and organisational commitment) by examining whether or not the nationality of an owner was related to such variables. The study relied upon survey data collected from 6 companies representing the manufacturing sector in Thailand. Using descriptive and inferential statistics: Mann- Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test and partial correlation, the study has found that PRP practices are typically deployed in a specific cultural context, that HRM aspects fit, regarding culture, leads to improve PRP perceptions. Moreover, female, lowly-educated workers, those with children and non-union employees exhibited greater perceptions of PRP, unexpectedly. There were no significant differences found among employees in the three groups in terms of setting objectives, system design and pay-performance links. However, the differences of performance appraisal, fairness and communication were addressed. Surprisingly, there were no significant differences among employees working within Thai, Japanese and American companies with respect to teamwork and career advancement. Regarding organisation commitment, statistically significant differences were found according to affective and continuance commitment. The implications, suggestions and limitations for further studies of PRP plans are presented. This research serves to consolidate the HRM's learning and direct for future work such that it may continue growing and contributing to HRM knowledge.

▼ Hong Kong is a society of Chinese immigrants whose adaptation has become a great concern to both policymakers and scholars. In the last two decades, the handover of Hong Kong sovereignty to People's Republic of China on 1 July 1997 and the Asian financial crisis did create a gap in the China-Hong Kong migration literature. Besides, Hong Kong immigration department adopted three new admission schemes in the last decade, the thesis contributes to the literature by incorporating the consideration of them and address two assimilation questions, the first research question is about the relationship between Chinese immigrants' characteristics and the corresponding effects on their assimilation patterns in Hong Kong labour market, the author investigates the variation of Chinese immigrants assimilation patterns and explains why patterns vary under different economic settings. The second research question is about Chinese immigrants' endowment which consists of Putonghua speaking skills and 'China-knowledge', this "endowment effect" can somewhat explain the assimilation pattern as these two skills are becoming increasingly important after the handover of Hong Kong sovereignty the author estimates the effect of this endowment on Chinese immigrants assimilation patterns. Methodologically, the author answers these two research questions through the triangulation of quantitative and qualitative approach. In quantitative analysis, six Hong Kong census datasets are employed and fifteen individual in-depth interviews scripts are analyzed in qualitative side. The author expects the validity of assimilation hypothesis depends on different economic circumstances. The major contribution of this thesis is to find out in what particular situation the assimilation hypothesis is true, and qualitative results are employed to explain why the assimilation patterns are proved to be different between male and female, amongst various marital statuses, industries and occupations.

▼ This research explores post-16 transitions of a group of Black Caribbean young people, to gain insight into the factors which influence their transitions, the decisions made and executed and the outcomes produced. Biographically, significant details articulated by the individuals about their transition journey are conveyed to elucidate the particular circumstances of this group and to illustrate the dynamic nature of the dilemmas encountered and the responses enacted. In-depth interviews were conducted with 24 respondents ranging in age from 16 to 25, of mixed gender, and reflecting a spectrum of post-16 destinations. The recollections shared by respondents are examined, interpreted and presented using the framework of narrative analysis. This approach emphasises the creation of a discursive space which allows individuals to retell stories of transitions which are meaningful to the narrator. Selected biographical portraits are presented to illuminate the contours that shape experiences of transition. The attainment profile of respondents is heterogeneous and ranges from those with low levels of attainment to those with very high achievements. This disrupts the over-simplified discussions about „ethnic minority underachievement‟ and reveals that attainment is more diverse than is commonly represented. Many respondents have high educational aspirations and are anxious to improve their qualifications (even low achievers). Respondents recognise that credentials are the currency for contemporary labour markets, and have ambitions for greater social mobility than their parents‟ generation; they are discerning about racial stereotyping and the damaging effects this can have on life chances. The research highlights that young people are ill-prepared for making crucial decisions about their post-16 options. Many parents/carers are unaware of the importance of careers information. There is unanimity in the view that careers education is wholly inadequate. Many young people fall through the net and receive no guidance. Young people need to be better prepared for their post-16 transitions; this preparation should include an entitlement to quality careers education prior to leaving school.

▼ Top-down and bottom-up approaches for trade union organising have become popular debates in industrial relations and critical considerations for unions hoping for a renewed status. This study investigated recruitment and recognition of white-collar workers in commercial banks in Barbados during the period 1997 to present in terms of centralised/top-down and workplace/bottom-up union approaches. Case study design was used to examine this phenomenon in five commercial banks by conducting 32 face-to-face interviews with shop stewards, union officials and bank managers involved in the recruitment and recognition processes. Five focus groups were held with shop stewards and documents and archival information were also used. This thesis shows that the Barbados Workers’ Union had initially used a top-down approach to gain recognition in the commercial banks but was initially unsuccessful; however, organisational contexts such as restructuring/reorganising, mergers/acquisitions and a lack of grievance resolution resulted in employee grievances. These grievances included job security, pay equity, and a need for grievance resolution procedure and employee voice which were used by the rank-and-file activists in their bottom-up mobilisation. Evidence from the study showed that the top-down approach was supported by the bottom-up approach once the grievances were framed by activists at the workplace. The findings have shown that when management’s actions create conditions conducive to mobilisation and grievances result which are common to most staff, mobilisation is likely once rank-and-file activists are willing to agitate for unionisation. Further, that once this bottom-up approach supports the top-down approach in a multidimensional way that top-down and bottom-up could contribute to successful recruitment and recognition campaigns. Evidence from this research suggests that rank-and-file mobilisation should be considered along with top-down strategies to increase the chance of recognition. The study contributes to research on top-down and bottom-up approaches and particularly to understanding the workplace dimensions for mobilisation.

▼ This thesis sets out to examine the regional policies pursued by the Labour Governments of 1997 – 2010. In particular it looks at how the institutions and networks set up as part of these policies worked in the East Midlands region. Drawing on the theories of New Regionalism the research examined the attempts by the East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) to set up a governance network. The thesis has three central research questions relating to regional governance and the use of the theories of New Regionalism in an area without a strong regional identity. The research found that while EMDA was able to have a positive impact on the region’s economy it struggled to attract significant private sector involvement in governance networks outside of their Nottingham base. Conversely efforts to set up public-private collaboration in Leicestershire by the City and County Councils had much more success in attracting meaningful contributions from the private sector. Two factors emerged from the research that help to explain the different outcomes found within the region, both of which have implications for regional studies and policy. Firstly the role of local government in attracting private sector involvement in the new Economic Development Company was seen as key as it gave the new venture an air of democratic legitimacy that the quango led regional structures did not have. Secondly this research shows that regional policy makers must seek to ensure that they are working at the most appropriate scale in order to gain the buy-in of local actors. Participants in this research from both the public and private sector did not see the East Midlands as a meaningful region to which they had any attachment or loyalty. Attempts to stimulate economic growth at the county or city-region scale had much more success in attracting business involvement in their networks.

▼ This dissertation outlines a mixed-methods investigation of work-life balance, examining the construct from an ecological systems theory perspective. This necessitated research at the individual, group, organisational and wider societal levels and included three studies: two using quantitative methodology and one using qualitative. The quantitative phase included two studies that examined the experience of the home-work interface from the perspective of the employee, examining the impact of demographic differences, job design and organisational work-life balance culture on both their work-life balance satisfaction and actual outcomes of work and home domain interaction. This revealed the key role of demographic differences in employees’ satisfaction with work-life balance culture and the moderating role of work locus of control in the relationship between negative domain interaction outcomes and self-reported wellbeing. The qualitative phase involved interviews with senior organisational stakeholders involved in the formulation and deployment of work-life balance policy. Thematic analysis of interview scripts revealed their implicit and explicit limited categorisation of employees when considering work-life balance needs; the gendered nature of their flexible working policies; the key role of line managers in the interpretation and implementation of policy; the impact of communication technology on the interface between work and home domains and the very limited extent of evaluation carried out on flexible-working policies. Taken together, the data paint a complex but illuminating contemporary picture of the nature of work-life balance in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and support the adoption of an ecological systems perspective when examining work-life balance.

▼ This dissertation focuses on an analysis of the relationship between migrant workers' agencies and development in China, looking through the lens of the autonomy of migration. It analyses how the escape of migrant workers from the containment system and the insubordination of migrant workers to capital relation drive social transformation in China. As varying preconditions of development lead different regions down different pathways, this dissertation focuses on the three most economically advanced provinces in coastal China - Guangdong, Zhejiang and Jiangsu - to reveal the relationship between migrant workers and development in different contexts. Theoretically, it challenges the current explanations of Chinese internal migration. It offers a new perspective from which to view the struggles and resistances of migrant workers as a dynamic process which constantly puts pressure on the existing control regime. Historically, capital always attempts to capture moving labour and subordinate it in capital relation. However, labour always attempts to escape. It is this energy of escape that is the target of the control regime. This dissertation provides concrete empirical evidence to trace the interaction of migrant workers' agencies with the development of different regions. Different historical preconditions lead to different pathways of capitalist development, which are related to the different strategies of subordination of migrant workers to capital in China. Also, although migrant workers are always involved in escaping from the existing control regime, they behave differently according to the differences in the control regime and subordination strategy. It offers a suggestion of future trends in the insubordination of migrant workers in China: along with the spread of neoliberalism and the integration with the global market, increasing numbers of people are dragged into capital relation, and the subordination of labour to capital is deepening. The global division of labour is also spreading to inland China. Although, initially, development strategies differ from region to region, there is a tendency for them to converge.

▼ This thesis investigates under which conditions, how and why the agency of workers - in its relation to that of other social agents - shapes the development and operations of global automotive manufacturers in different locales of the Global South. It zooms in on the Mexican and Chinese subsidiaries of a German - and one of the largest - global car producers. Theoretically, it challenges the dominance of explanations of industrial development as products of governmentbusiness interactions on the one hand, and the substitution of comparative statics for the tracing of historical changes on the other. Instead, it argues that worker agency becomes a constitutive factor by deflecting the strategic agency of managers and policy makers into unintended consequences. The comparative case study provides empirical evidence for the institutional and structural conditions of worker agency; how they interpret and act upon these conditions; and how through processes of relational agency workers induce institutional and structural change. This endeavour allows for a reassessment of the hypothesis that there will be converging developments of strong automotive labour movements in China and Mexico. And it provides new empirical evidence to address the puzzle of convergence and divergence between the "productive model" of the mother company and the operations of its subsidiaries in the Global South.

16. Ortega Sánchez, Carmen. El proceso de toma de decisiones vinculado a la inteligencia emocional como herramienta de gestión dentro de las organizaciones empresariales.
▼ En los últimos años del siglo XX y los primeros del XXI, la cultura empresarial ha cambiado sustancialmente, introduciéndose nuevos factores asociados al capital humano que si bien eran conocidos, han adquirido, con el desarrollo de las nuevas tecnologías, la sociedad del conocimiento y la información, otras perspectivas y dimensiones. Los valores de la empresa que fueron el capital, la línea de producción, los mercados o las patentes, son ahora el capital humano, y de una economía empresarial basada en el máximo beneficio se ha pasado a una economía humanista sin perder de vista los objetivos de beneficio y rentabilidad intrínsecos al objetivo final de las empresas. Se hace referencia a la vigencia de un sistema de gestión organizacional en el que los recursos humanos cumplen roles de igual o mayor importancia que los aspectos económicos, financieros y tecnológicos. Esta perspectiva se interpreta desde la concepción de una verdadera interacción entre lo social y lo económico.

▼ In this Ph.D. thesis I attempt to investigate in more depth, important topics in labour economics for the UK economy. In the first two chapters, I explore the effect of involuntary job separations on earnings and on aggregate productivity in the UK. In the third chapter, I investigate the efficiency of matchings between firms and workers in the UK’s labour market. I highlight the efficiency of formal and informal channels during searching and finding a job. More specifically in the first chapter, I exploit household data for the UK economy to estimate the magnitude and the temporal pattern of displaced workers earnings for the UK economy. By linking the British Household Panel Survey” with the Understanding Society” dataset, I have been able to extract a unique dataset of worker’s employment histories for the UK from 1990 to 2011. In this chapter, I estimate the contribution of wage cuts and of the reductions in hours of working on the earning losses that are observed after a job separation. From the empirical estimations, I observe the following results: short run income losses for displaced workers with an unemployment flow after a displacement are about 19 percent and are reduced from 18 to 15 percent the following 3 years. The losses are higher for college educated workers than that with lower eduction. Finally, after decomposing income, a remarkable result is that these losses are mainly driven by cuts in wages (80%-90%) and not by reduction in the hours of working. In the second chapter, I exploit the effect of involuntary job separations on aggregate productivity for the UK economy (as output per hour worked). More specifically, human capital has been found to be important for aggregate productivity, and large individual human capital losses are associated with job displacements. I investigate the role of involuntary job separations (since displacements have increased during the 2008 financial crisis) on the UK’s productivity puzzle. By using the same dataset as in Chapter 1, I observe the following results: displacements of high tenured workers (more than 2 years in the same job prior to the separation) can explain on average the 27 percent of the post-crisis gap, if aggregate labour productivity had followed the path of the pre-2008 trend. Furthermore, almost the 78 percent of this effect can be explained by the drop in wages of college educated workers and the rest 22 percent by the drop in wages of non-college educated workers. Finally, in the last chapter of this Ph.D. thesis, I empirically examine the workers’ choice of using different channels of search during seeking for a job. I focus on the UK’s labour market where the usage of referrals as a search channel is by 50% lower than that in the US. I estimate matching functions for 6 different channels and also introduce a new method in the literature which handles better possible endogeneity issues. By using the “Quarterly Labour Force Survey” and the “Vacancy Survey” datasets, the results show that the most efficient channel are referrals and the second…

▼ Las líneas de fabricación de productos mixtos, muy frecuentes en los entornos JIT (Just-in-Time) y DS (Douki Seisan), permiten tratar diversas variantes de uno o más productos. Esta flexibilidad condiciona el orden en que se han de tratar las unidades, al que llamaremos secuencia, para conseguir una reducción drástica de inventarios intermedios y para aprovechar al máximo el tiempo destinado a la fabricación. En estos entornos podemos encontrar dos categorías de objetivos básicos: A. Reducir el sobreesfuerzo o del trabajo perdido. B. Reducir al mínimo los niveles de inventario. También se distinguen en este contexto tres tipos de problemas de secuencias: 1. Mixed-Model Sequencing Problem (MMSP): Secuencias que implican completar el máximo trabajo requerido por el programa de producción. 2. Car sequencing problem (CSP): Secuencias condicionadas por la limitación sobre la frecuencia con que pueden aparecer en éstas algunas opciones especiales. 3. Level Scheduling (LS): Secuencias que implican trabajar con unas tasas de producción y de consumo de materiales lo más regulares a lo largo del tiempo. La presente tesis se enmarca en la categoría B de objetivos y en la tipología 3 de problemas, y está estructurada en 7 capítulos. - Tras una breve introducción a la planificación y programación de operaciones, en §1 se establece un marco general sobre la secuenciación de unidades de productos mixtos en contexto JIT. - En §2 se formula un modelo general de secuenciación de productos con un solo nivel de componentes en la lista de materiales. - Los criterios de valoración de dichas secuencias se establecen en §3, donde se propone una taxonomía de modelos, en función del objetivo, que permite clasificar los modelos presentes en la literatura. - En §4 se explica el método Goal chasing, empleado por Toyota y propuesto por Monden, para resolver el problema ORV (Output Rate Variation). - En el capítulo §5 se mejora el método Goal chasing con una drástica reducción de los tiempos de computación (usando la matriz de afinidad secuencial) y con la propuesta de 7 procedimientos heurísticos, cuyas eficiencias se contrastan mediante dos experiencia computacionales. - El capítulo §6 está dedicado a la descripción y formalización de un procedimiento exacto basado en la programación dinámica, BDP (Bounded Dynamic Programming), para resolver el problema ORV. Aquí también se realizan dos experiencias computacionales que permiten estudiar el comportamiento de la BDP en función de sus parámetros algorítmicos. - El capítulo §7 se centra en nuevas extensiones a los problemas de secuencias en contexto JIT. Se proponen modelos y procedimientos: (1) incorporando al problema ORV las restricciones del CSP relativas a la frecuencia de aparición de opciones especiales en la secuencia, (2) ponderando la regularidad en el consumo de componentes, (3) regularizando la producción y el consumo de componentes en sistemas con múltiples etapas productivas (caso multinivel), y (4) unificando las extensiones anteriores a través de la matriz de… Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Companys Pascual, Ramón (director), true (authorsendemail).

▼ El nombre d'universitats públiques ha crescut considerablement en les últimes dècades en el món. A nivell europeu, aquest creixement s'ha vist acompanyat de nombrosos canvis de regulació en l'àmbit de l'ensenyament com el procés de Bolònia, les reformes de l'Espai Europeu d'Investigació (ECTS), nous mecanismes de gestió de recursos, interès en les patents i l'emprenedoria, i el creixent èmfasi en les relacions universitat/empresa, entre d'altres. Amb tot això les universitats que no adoptin noves estratègies de planificació o no considerin aquests canvis, s'enfrontaran a problemes tals com finançament debilitat, i relacionats amb la gestió de personal (tant docent com administratiu) i el tractament del talent, entre d'altres. La planificació estratègica de personal consisteix en determinar a llarg termini la quantitat i tipologia dels recursos de personal d'acord a un conjunt de criteris (polítiques de personal, acadèmiques i econòmiques). La falta d'un pla estratègic es podria traduir en un increment del cost de personal, una inadequació del volum del mateix a les necessitats reals de la universitat, i una composició poc adequada en referència, per exemple, al relleu generacional, experiència, capacitats en diversos àmbits de coneixement, balanç entre perfils docents i investigadors. La determinació d'una metodologia, que inclou la formulació i resolució d'un model matemàtic d'optimització, pel pla estratègic per al cas de les universitats públiques és l'objecte principal d'aquesta tesi. L'optimització del pla estratègic té en compte diversos aspectes tals com: i) polítiques referents a la contractació, acomiadament i promoció de personal; ii) l'heterogeneïtat dels treballadors (conjunt de categories); iii) i l'adopció d'un criteri d'optimització, en aquest cas basat no només en mètriques econòmiques, sinó també d'acord amb altres aspectes tals com el nivell de servei requerit i la consecució d'una composició de la plantilla de treballadors d'acord a un ideal. Aquesta eina d'optimització, així com les anàlisis al voltant de diversos casos d'estudi avaluant diferents polítiques de personal, acadèmiques i econòmiques, són les contribucions principals d'aquesta tesi. Els continguts de la tesi es divideixen en 7 capítols principals. El Capítol 2 ofereix un estat de l'art sobre les organitzacions intensives en coneixement (KIOs en anglès), i la planificació estratègica de la capacitat, particularitzant en el cas de les universitats. Complementàriament, el Capítol 3 identifica les característiques rellevants de les KIOs en general, i de les universitats en particular. Aquest capítol dona peu al desenvolupament d'una metodologia per a la determinació del pla estratègic de personal, tractat al Capítol 4. Aquesta metodologia consta de diferents fases, cadascuna de les quals tractada en els següents capítols: la caracterització del problema (Capítol 5), la formulació matemàtica d'un model d'optimització per al pla estratègic (Capítol 6) i l'avaluació d'aquesta eina d'optimització d'acord a diferents casos d'estudi (Capítol… Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Lusa García, Amaia (director), Mateo Doll, Manuel (director), true (authorsendemail).

▼ La tesis tiene como objetivo determinar si la capacitación en negociación que recibieron los Graduados de MBAs y maestrías especializadas en las escuelas de negocios y de postgrado en el Perú impactó en su comportamiento profesional futuro para desenvolverse mejor dentro y fuera de sus organizaciones. Existen estudios a nivel de laboratorio o al término inmediato de una capacitación, más no hay estudios que permitan medir el impacto en forma posterior a la capacitación. La población objetivo estuvo conformada por los graduados de MBAs y maestrías especializadas de la Escuela de Postgrado de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas comprendidos en el período 2013-2014, en razón de su identificación y ubicación. Para complementar el estudio y corroborar los efectos de la capacitación en los centros de trabajo, se entrevistó a gerentes de recursos humanos de empresas líderes con mejor reputación y de diferentes sectores económicos del Perú, así como a representantes de empresas encargadas de selección de ejecutivos. La investigación permitirá extrapolar sus resultados a otras sociedades con característics culturales y sociales similares al Perú. La investigación permitió concluir que la capacitación en negociación tiene un impacto favorable en su vida profesional futura y mejora el desenvolvimiento dentro y fuera de sus organizaciones.

▼ Aquesta tesi proposa un model d’innovació empresarial basat en la metodologia dels fulls de ruta o “roadmapping”, eina de planificació de projectes a mig/llarg termini en la prospectiva amb l’objectiu de facilitar la innovació a les organitzacions. El model emfasitza per una banda l’estudi de l’estat de la tècnica de l'entorn a través de l'eina de vigilància tecnològica, i per l'altra els conceptes de "visió interna" i "visió externa" com a fonts d'anàlisi i coneixement de l'organització innovadora i del seu entorn respectivament. S'inicia la tesi amb l'estudi de l'estat de l'art analitzant les teories metodològiques actuals i els seus centres originadors a nivell mundial. Aquest és el punt de generació i formulació de les hipòtesis que al final del treball seran enfrontades als resultats obtinguts per tal de comprovar-ne la seva efectivitat. Continuant amb la proposta del model teòric, aquest està estructurat en sis fases o passos que guien les empreses durant tot el procés innovador: preliminars, visions interna-externa, anàlisi-tàctica-estratègia, formalització del full de ruta, implantació-desenvolupament i finalment l'avaluació d'assoliment. De l’aplicació experimental en una organització empresarial i seguint la seva evolució al llarg del temps fins a la fi del model, s’obtenen resultats de totes i cadascuna de les fases i posteriorment són analitzats. Fruit d’aquesta anàlisi i de la confrontació amb les hipòtesis formulades al seu moment s’extreuen les conclusions finals, on es mostra que aquesta tesi pot aportar una pauta entenedora i definida del procés innovador a les organitzacions a través del concepte de “visió” i de la importància de l’estudi l’estat de la tècnica a incloure en la categoria externa d’aquella, accions que ajuden a realitzar les anàlisis necessàries per tal de conèixer el millor possible tant l’entorn com la pròpia entitat, eines fonamentals per decidir l’estratègia i tàctica a seguir per optimitzar resultats futurs Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Lloveras Macià, Joaquim (director), true (authorsendemail).

▼ Personnel continuous training is a key strategy in corporate development and, even though its positive effects in organizational performance have been established, it is barely conducted. It is widely known that personnel performance goes along with its competences and the growing competitiveness existing among organizations requires them to maintain its staff trained, able to respond to the changing environment and to effectively contribute to the production of competitive advantage. Even though training leads to development and strengthen people's competences, some Peruvian enterprises do not have established procedures to align continuous training objectives with the organizational objectives. The following doctoral thesis is based on a research conducted to a representative sample of 87 large Peruvian enterprises among different business sectors, about the determining factors to conduct the training planning affecting the outcome of organizational objectives. Important factors include: motivations and obstacles such as top management commitment, organizational planning, training programs design, business management policies and communication of organizational objectives Advisors/Committee Members: [email protected] (authoremail), false (authoremailshow), Llinàs Audet, Xavier (director), Escardíbul Ferrà, Josep Oriol (codirector), true (authorsendemail).

▼ This thesis is a study of Chinese workers in the white goods industry, in particular workers in refrigerator factories in Anhui Province. It explores the change of factory regime and its impacts on workers during the development of the white goods industry and the process of marketization and privatisation. There have been a certain number of academic research studies on factory regimes in European and North American settings, and in recent years, research into China's industrial relations has increased. In contrast, changes of factory regimes based on a particular industry have been largely ignored by foreign and Chinese scholars. This thesis aims to contribute to the understanding of the impact on the workers and the trade unions of the change in factory regimes in the process of China's transition towards a market economy. This thesis utilises qualitative and quantitative research methods, but mainly uses qualitative methods. Case studies were conducted in two companies in China. Eighty- three semi-structured interviews with workers, managers, trade union officials and scholars were completed. Structured interviews were conducted with 50 workers, and 50 managers responded to a questionnaire survey. In addition, secondary data referring to the Chinese white goods industry, both in Chinese and English, were collected mainly from statistical information published by government agencies and business bodies. It is argued that market relations rather than ownership transformation play a crucial role in the change of factory regime. It is not always true that the workers benefit from the good performance of the enterprises under the market economy with Chinese characteristics. In the context of the market economy, China's trade unions have retained their traditional concept. Their fundamental change is ultimately dependent on reform within the Party. Furthermore, the division of labour with Chinese characteristics makes for additional difficulty in the formation of China's working class.

Moreover, most studies on executive compensation in China focus on the agency theory model and have produced mixed results. Little research on executive compensation has been done using alternative perspectives. This thesis explores management incentive issues by examining executive compensation in Chinese listed companies from three under-researched perspectives: the managerial power model, tournament model and simultaneous model. All three models have been adapted to the Chinese context. The managerial power model tests executive compensation from the managerial power perspective. A new power dimension - political power - is added to Grabke-Rundell and Gomez-Mejia's (2002) managerial power model in order to test the political influence on executive compensation in Chinese listed companies. The research findings support the hypothesis that political duality, which refers to Chairman/Party Secretary duality, is positively related to executive compensation in Chinese listed companies. The tournament model examines the organizational incentive structures. It studies the pay differences between organizational levels instead of studying the absolute level of pay, which provides an alternative incentive design other than the pay for performance mechanism. It is found that government ownership can weaken the tournament incentive in Chinese listed companies. Finally, the endogenous nature of executive compensation has been largely neglected by previous studies. This study contributes to the literature by examining executive compensation, managerial ownership, board characteristics and firm value in Chinese listed companies in a simultaneous model. The research findings show that executive compensation, managerial ownership and board characteristics are jointly determined in Chinese listed companies. Specifically, small boards help to control Highest Paid Director (HPD) compensation, to align the interests between HPD and the company and to increase firm value. Independent directors also help to align the interest between the HPD and the company and to increase firm value. Political duality (Chairman/Party Secretary duality) fails to control HPD compensation but it helps to control board size.

▼ This thesis explores Taiwanese privatisation in the context of global neo-liberalisation. It is a study of the relationship between the state, capital and trade unions in relation to privatisation and the policy-making process in Taiwan and the Taiwan Railway in particular. It pays attention to exploring the three dimensions: first, how the state plays its role in the privatisation process second, what private capital does in order to extend its financial interests and third, whether trade unions have capacity to shape privatisation policies. The thesis draws upon extensive fieldwork that took place in Taiwan and the Taiwanese railway industry in particular between May 2005 and November 2007. It documents how Taiwanese public sector unions, dependent on the party-state system, sought to transform themselves into independent unions during the period of privatisation. Using qualitative and participant observation methods, including semi- structured interviews, fieldnote taking, and documentary analysis, this thesis provides, for the first time first-hand, rich, deep, holistic and contextual data on issues that had previously been hidden from public debate. These are discussed and analysed with particular reference to British and former Soviet Union's experience in the context of privatisation. Although the research was explicitly located in the context of Taiwan and the Taiwan Railway, it is hoped that it has more general significance. Taiwan's experience, until now neglected in debates on privatisation, could extend contemporary debates on the topic especially in relation to the various roles of the state, capital and trade unions. In particular, it raises for discussion the finding that under certain circumstances, instead of being marginalised by privatisation, certain trade unions could gain strong bargaining capacity, weakening the role of the state and private capital, and significantly shaping the policy process.

▼ This study was designed to investigate whether provision of information, in the form of a leaflet, about issues surrounding aggression and violence at work would lower anxiety about aggression and increase confidence in dealing with aggression, in care staff working in learning disability. A brief evaluation of the leaflet was carried out, and measures taken to establish whether information was assimilated from the leaflet. Also investigated were other feelings that care staff had about aggression at work. An information leaflet entitled "Preventing and coping with an aggressive incident involving a client in your care", and a questionnaire entitled "Aggressive incidents involving a client at work" were constructed. The questionnaire incorporated a scale for measuring 'Confidence in dealing with aggression'. 53 care staff, working in residential homes for people with learning disabilities, completed pre and post-intervention Spielberger State-Trait Form Y-1 questionnaires, and "Aggressive incidents involving a client at work" questionnaires. Results were analysed using analysis of variance, t-tests and Pearson's product moment correlation. No differences were found in levels of anxiety or confidence in dealing with aggression between two experimental groups and a control group, pre and post-intervention, but a significant difference was found in levels of anxiety within the groups pre and post-intervention. The leaflet was evaluated positively, but information was not assimilated. These and other findings are discussed in relation to present practice and implications for future research.

▼ This thesis examines inter-industrial strike-patterns over a twenty-year period to approach an understanding of striking as a form of social action. The influential concept of the ‘industrial society’ is first critically examined with the conclusion that it contains several inadequacies; substantive and theoretical; both in its implications for theories of industrial relations and as an analytical label for the wider societal context. The employment relationship in capitalist society is examined together with types of industrial action; both individual and collective, and a model constructed which sees strikes as dependent on two variables the occasion for dispute; based on the employment relationship, and the ability to take action; based on the existence of a trade union. Trade unions are then examined and their limitations and potential discussed. The meaning of strike-action to the striker is considered and a congruence suggested between the strike as a type of action and working-class orientations to work.

▼ In many countries, the extent to which immigration affects the labour market of the host economy is one of the key concerns in the public debate on immigration policies. Chapter 2 of this thesis provides a thorough review of the economic literature on the labour market impact of immigration and summarises the current empirical evidence. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of immigrants on the German labour market during the 1990s. This analysis takes advantage of a natural experiment in which a particular group of immigrants was exogenously allocated to specific regions across the country by the government. The empirical analysis focuses on the effect of these exogenous inflows on relative skill-specific employment and wage rates of the resident population. Chapter 4 of the thesis investigates how industries and firms respond to a change in the skill mix of local labour supply induced by an inflow of immigrants. One way to absorb these changes is an expansion in size of those industries and firms that use the corresponding skill group most intensively. Alternatively, in dustries and firms can adjust their production process and switch to a technology that uses the corresponding skill group more intensively. Based on German micro data, the analysis assesses which of these channels is dominant and quantifies their relative contributions. One of the key assumptions in many impact analyses is that natives and immigrants of the same observable skill level are perfect substitutes in the labour market and are thus equally affected by aggregate economic shocks. Chapter 5 of the thesis tests this assumption by analysing the way different immigrant groups in Germany and the UK respond to the economic cycle relative to comparable native workers.
