Dynamics Of Employments Relations In State-owned Enterprises In China

This thesis examines the dynamics of employments relations in state-owned enterprises in China based on monographs produced in the Shanghai branches of two companies.In particular, it is intended to discuss the impact of transformations in the public sector from reforms in the1980s. These reforms led to truly distinguish the interests of labor from those of management. In this sense, they paved the way for the emergence of a system of employments relations.This thesis focuses on the analysis of human resource policies in these companies, which were marked by increasing independence from the public authorities, the changing role of the union in this context, and the collective action of workers in the context of restructuring and uncertainty about the future of the company.
