Abstract

Changes are taking place in collective bargainingarrangements and management structures forindustrial relations. The Warwick Survey,confirming the findings of previous research,shows that the apparent moves towards thedecentralisation of industrial relations are inpractice more complex than they first appear. Thesurvey results are consistent with earlier studiesinto the extensive activities of head officemanagers in the affairs of establishments in whatare ostensibly decentralised companies. However,they provide little support for existing researchinto how employees perceive these changes sincethe emphasis is on the contrast of view betweenmanagers at different levels in the organisation.This points to the need for the development oftheory in this area.
