The influence of stock market listing on human resource management: evidence for France and Britain
Conway, Neil and Deakin, S. and Konzelmann, Suzanne J. and Petit, H. and Rebérioux, A. and Wilkinson, F. (2008) The influence of stock market listing on human resource management: evidence for France and Britain. British Journal of Industrial Relations 46 (4), pp. 631-673. ISSN 0007-1080.
Abstract
We use data from the Relations Professionnelles et Négociations d'Entreprise survey of 2004 and the Workplace Employment Relations Survey of 2004 to analyse how far approaches to human resource management differ according to whether an establishment is part of a company with a stock exchange listing. In both countries we find that listing is positively associated with teamworking and performance-related pay, while in France, but not in Britain, it is also linked to worker autonomy and training. Our findings are inconsistent with the claim that shareholder pressure operates as a constraint on the adoption of high-performance workplace practices. The pattern is similar in the two countries, but with a slightly stronger tendency for listing to be associated with high-performance workplace practices in France.
