Abstract

This paper focuses on constraints on the effectiveness of high performance work techniques deriving from the traditions of craft-based trade unionism and long-established structures and cultures within sector-based employment relationships. The findings question the fundamentally managerialist nature of HPW accounts that assume labour's position in the high-performance equation to be simply one of recipient of managerial initiatives.
