Cracking labour process theory in employment relations and HRM

Shiona Chillas and Alina Baluch

Chapter 5 in Elgar Introduction to Theories of Human Resources and Employment Relations, 2019, pp 67-81 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter charts the development of labour process theory as a critical perspective on employee relations. It notes the substantial contributions made by this approach, identifying trends in the nature of work, skills and technology, also commenting on managerial regimes such as HRM. Careful husbandry has ensured that core LPT remains robust as the nature of capitalism alters. However, cracks have emerged, filled by importing and integrating explanatory concepts that stray from the core. Ongoing dialogue within the tradition continues to refine the scope of LPT ensuring its continued relevance in contemporary workplace research.
