Atypische Beschäftigungsverhältnisse
Herausgeber: Berndt Keller & Werner Nienhüser
Schwerpunktheft der Industriellen Beziehungen

Das Normalarbeitsverhältnis verliert an Bedeutung zugunsten atypischer Beschäftigungsverhältnisse, die inzwischen mehr als ein Drittel des Arbeitsmarktes ausmachen. Der Sammelbegriff verdeckt die unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen (u. a. Teilzeit, geringfügige Beschäftigung/Mini- und Midijobs, befristete Beschäftigung, Leih- und Zeitarbeit, neue (Solo-)Selbstständigkeit sowie ihre spezifischen Folgeprobleme in kurz-, mittel- und langfristiger Perspektive. Das Schwerpunktheft soll sowohl aktuelle, empirisch und theoretisch orientierte Beiträge zu einzelnen Formen liefern als auch entsprechende Querschnittsthemen behandeln, die in der öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskussion weitgehend unberücksichtigt bleiben. Abstracts im Umfang von max. 5000 Wörtern können bis zum 21.12.2012 eingereicht werden.

BSA Work, Employment and Society Conference 2013
„States of Work: and the interpretations of work, employment, society and the state“
3-5 September 2013; University of Warwick, UK

The conference has an international focus and comes at a critical time for the study of work. Over the few last years, unprecedented state intervention in the economy and subsequent radical reform plans for the public sector and the welfare state have raised new questions on the ways work is socially regulated: the WES 2013 conference will bring together sociologists of work from across the globe to assess the evidence and consider the theoretical implications of changing relations between work, society and the state. Deadline for abstract submission is April 19, 2013.

Paradoxes and tensions in HRM:
Exploring the field and moving ahead
February 14-15 2013; University of Innsbruck/Austria

Currently, we observe a rising interest of HRM scholars in understanding the nature of tensions in the management of workforce. While the terms duality, paradox, ambiguity and tension are widely used in contemporary HRM research, the underlying concepts and theoretical assumptions are rarely explored systematically. In this workshop we seek to explore recent developments in studying tensions in HRM and theoretical perspectives that help to increase our understanding of tensions, their origin and dynamics in HRM, and how they can be dealt with. Deadline for abstract submission is November 15, 2013.
