Industrial Relations in Singapore — Practice and Perspective is a comprehensive account of the key developments in industrial relations in Singapore over the last five decades. It offers a holistic, one-stop information depository of relevant industrial relations frameworks, institutions, processes and practices, and issues from a practitioner's perspective.
Serves as a textbook for postgraduate students of human resources management and personnel management. Highlights the gradual transition of industrial relations to employee relations. This shift from conflict resolution to collaborative partnerships between the employer and the employee has been explained against the backdrop of globalization and liberalization which had a profound effect on the economy and the industry.
This book analyses the role of employment relations in the context of economic development in some of the key Asian economies: China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, the Phillipines, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. In recent years, these Asian economies have become increasingly more open and export-driven, and there is strong interest all over the world in the Asian economic `miracle' among practitioners and scholars alike. Although much has been written on this region, few books have concentrated on the human resource aspects of this growth. The authors build on the basic premise that the initial success of these countries has lain in low wages and suppression of workers' rights. However, they point out that as employment relations evolve enterprises will either pull out due to rising wages, or stay and prosper by adapting to higher wages. Cases are provided to illustrate both of these features. The evidence in the book suggests that unless a synergy is created between firm-level and state-level human resource policies in areas such as skill formation and workers' need for voice, economic growth is unlikely to be sustainable.
This book looks at the introduction of economic constraint into industrial relations and examines whether a wage-driven or employment-driven industrial relations regime can be adopted or is applicable. As the term implies, the former regime produces more employment and generates a higher income for all workers in the long run while the latter obtains a wage premium for the employed at the expense of the unemployed. Furthermore, in a wage-driven industrial relations regime, the strength of the union is an important determinant of wages while there is no such contemporaneous relationship between union strength and wage increases in the employment-driven regime. The book examines the Singapore industrial relations system based on the resource-constraint approach.This book received a commendation in the 1996 Book Awards of Singapore.
