Employer Perspectives On ‘Zero Hours’ Contracts In Uk Higher Education, Laurence Hopkins, Helen Fairfoul

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The use of casual and temporary labour in the UK labour market is not a new phenomenon, but an increase in the use of so-called ‘zero hours contracts’ has drawn considerable attention from pressure groups, the media and all three main political parties over the past 18 months. While official figures indicate that the majority of zero hours contracts are found in the retail, hospitality, and healthcare sectors, the use of these arrangements at higher education establishments has also attracted attention and has become an area of focus for HE trade unions. This paper begins with a review of the …

Trends In Labor Management Issues At Historically Black Colleges And Universities, Derryn Moten

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The uniqueness of Historically Black Colleges and Universities make achieving collective bargaining on these campuses problematic. All but a handful of black colleges are located in the south, a region with a well-established aversion to organized labor. The South’s history of plantation slavery coupled with feudal peonage labor and Big Mule politics is antithetical with notions of fair wages, reasonable benefits and work hours, and safe working environments. Something similar can be argued about shared governance on the campuses of HBCUs where labor trends favoring union representation of staff trails the success achieved on many Historically White Colleges and Universities …

Trends In Labor Management Issues At Historically Black Colleges And Universities, Elizabeth K. Davenport

Journal of Collective Bargaining in the Academy

The mobilization of workers through unionization has deep historical roots within American society; more so in the northern regions thanin the southern region of this country.Despite these historical roots,some sectors of the American population (i.e., minorities in general and AfricanAmericans in particular) who have experienced various forms of discrimination have not fully participatedin the unionization movement. This is especially true of the faculty in historically

Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). As a result of thevarious forms of discriminationthat not only denied them meaningful participation in the labor market but restricted their economic success, and the segregation that resulted from the …

Right Person At The Right Place: How Ipr At The Host Location Influences The Internal Division Of Innovative Labor In Multinational Enterprises, Anand Nandkumar, Kannan Srikanth

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School of Business

The internationalization of R&D activity by multinational enterprises (MNEs) is increasing, with a recent big push towards emerging economies. Understanding how MNEs organize collaborative R&D across geographies is therefore an important area of scholarship. However, little attention has been paid towards understanding the factors that influence the division of innovative labor within an MNE across geographies – the internal division of innovative labor. Drawing on the literature that shows that strong protection for intellectual property (IP) is important for the efficient division of innovative labor between firms, we argue and show that differences in effectiveness of IP protection between international …

Pay, Corporate Location And Donations To Charity, Kevin F. Hallock

Economics Faculty Publications

State and local governments direct a great deal of effort (and resources) toward incenting companies to locate in their particular jurisdictions. The cited reasons for this effort are often the increase in jobs and boost to the local tax base. In "The Geography of Giving: The Effect of Corporate Headquarters on Local Charities", David Card, Enrico Moretti and the author investigated a number of issues related to the geographical location of corporate headquarters and charitable giving. It turns out that location does matter and the movement of highly paid employees does, too. There are at least two main channels through …

Heuristic Rules In The Field: Evidence From Royalty Shares In Scientific Teams, Reddi Kotha, Dan Lovallo

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School of Business

Using field data from a large U.S. technology transfer organization with over $50 million in annual revenue, we investigate four related issues regarding the sharing of licensing revenues by academic teams. First, we find that the main empirical regularity is a heuristic-based allocation of shares 1/n, equal shares to all unique inventors in a single invention team, and the use of the partition dependence (PD) rule, whereby inventors receive equal share within an invention and shares across inventions included in the same contract are equal. Second, when we examine the performance consequences of such equal sharing, we find it is …

Paying To Put Out Fires, Kevin F. Hallock

Economics Faculty Publications

There is surprisingly little academic work on the compensation of firefighters. This may be, in part, because their wages are often set by collective bargaining agreements and that those paid as firefighters are regularly paid by seniority. But many aspects of the labor market can still be studied through this interesting occupation, including labor unions, compensation for job risk and even volunteerism. Consider the mountains of papers on Fortune 500 CEOs relative to the number (500) of employees doing this job in the US. In contrast, consider the tiny number of papers on firefighters relative to the large numbers who …
