Abstract

De startupcultuur maakt opgang. Veel bedrijven proberen ze als het ware te injecteren en plaatsen ook pingpongtafels en fruitmanden op de werkplek. Toch lijkt het ?pamperen? van de werknemers met legale en extralegale voordelen en tal van inspanningen om voor een leukere werkomgeving te zorgen niet echt te helpen, want het absenteïsme en het aantal burn-outs blijven schrikbarend toenemen.Stress, presenteïsme, burn-in, bore-out en burn-out zijn in het werkveld de ziektes van de 21ste eeuw. Ze maken ons kapot meneer, kunnen we zeggen. Vandaar de titel van dit boek. Experts zijn het erover eens dat de oorzaak van deze ziektes niet enkel te wijten is aan het tekort aan persoonlijke weerstand en mentale veerkracht van werknemers. De arbeidsomstandigheden spelen ook mee. En daarin spelen leidinggevenden een grote rol. Hoewel zij altijd de beste bedoelingen hebben, slagen ze er lang niet altijd in om echt verbinding met hun medewerkers tot stand te brengen en om die verbinding te combineren met daadkracht. ?Ze? zijn dus ook deze leidinggevenden. Hoewel we hen niet met alle zonden van Israël willen overladen vonden we het hoog tijd om te wijzen op de rol die zij spelen in de ziektes van deze tijd die overheid en werkgevers miljarden kosten. Dit is het eerste boek dat die verantwoordelijkheid ? vaak een ?olifant in de kamer? ? open en bloot bespreekt én tientallen concrete tips aanreikt om wel connectie te maken met die medewerkers en zo het welbevinden van hun teamleden en van henzelf te verbeteren.Dit is absoluut noodzakelijk want de psychische gevolgen van dat kapot gemaakt worden, zijn voor de slachtoffers en hun thuisomgeving niet in te schatten. Wat wel te berekenen is, zijn de kosten van het langdurige absenteïsme dat hierdoor wordt veroorzaakt. Voor de bedrijven en de maatschappij belopen deze ettelijke miljarden euro per jaar.

Abstract

Absenteeism is the single most important cause of lost labour time, yet it has received much less scholarly attention than more dramatic forms of industrial disruption, such as strikes. Arguing that any explanation of absence rates must take into account the interests of both employers and employees, this book constructs a model of the markets for absence and sick pay. These are not independent since sick pay affects workers' incentives to be absent, and absences affect employers' willingness to pay sick pay. The book reviews the available empirical evidence relating to both markets, stressing the importance of careful identification of the effect of the price of absence on demand, since this is a crucial quantity for firms' policies. It concludes by discussing the implications of the model for human resources management, and for the role of the state in sick pay provision.

Abstract

The 1767 decision to divide Prince Edward Island among elite British grantees shaped Island history for more than a century. Lady Landlords of Prince Edward Island examines this history through the lives of four women who, due to the vagaries of family formation and inheritance, became Island landlords. As absentee owners of large estates, each of the four women faced challenges from those who wanted land redistributed in freehold lots to actual settlers. Their individual management strategies were determined in part by class standing and marital status, as well as individual eccentricities and prejudices. Drawing on family and official papers, Rusty Bittermann and Margaret McCallum provide engaging portraits of these women - orphaned heiress, prudent wife and property manager, countess estranged from her husband, independent spinster - as they negotiated relations of power and privilege in a domain dominated by men. Lady Landlords of Prince Edward Island is a compelling narrative that provides a unique perspective on landed society in England in the age of industrialization and reform, making an important contribution to trans-Atlantic, British social, legal, and women's histories.

Abstract

Most large firms are controlled by shareholders, who choose the board of directors and can replace the firm's management. In rare instances, however, control over the firm rests with the workforce. Many explanations for the rarity of workers' control have been offered, but there have been few attempts to assess these hypotheses in a systematic way. This book draws upon economic theory, statistical evidence, and case studies to frame an explanation. The fundamental idea is that labor is inalienable, while capital can be freely transferred from one person to another. This implies that worker-controlled firms typically face financing problems, encounter collective choice dilemmas, and have difficulty creating markets for control positions within the firm. Together these factors can account for much of what is known about the incidence, behavior, and design of worker-controlled firms. A policy proposal to encourage employee buyouts is developed in the concluding chapter.
