Aims and Scope The Journal of Industrial Relations takes a broad interdisciplinary approach to the subject of the world of work. It welcomes a wide range of contributions which examine the way in which individuals, groups, organisations and institutions shape the employment relationship. The Journal takes the view that a comprehensive understanding of industrial relations must take into account the economic, political and social influences on the relative power of capital and labour, and the interactions between employers, workers, their collective organisations and the state. The Journal was established in 1958 by the Industrial Relations Society of Australia, which brings together representatives of management, the trade unions, the government services and the professions, as well as specialists in the various academic disciplines concerned with industrial relations. The editors of the Journal are appointed by the Society but exercise independent academic judgement concerning the content of the journal, with the assistance of an editorial board. Key Features
