Book Synopsis
This volume focuses on the intersections between institutions and actors in shaping innovative workplace conflict management practices, featuring scholarship centered on various countries, including Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Ireland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The intention of the volume is to synthesize a global body of research into conflict management undertaken by labor and employment relations scholars and also to assess the current state of employment relations research in this area. In doing so, the volume seeks to provide a road map for where research in this area has been and where it should now be headed.
