What Does John W. Budd’s Theory of ‘Employment with A Human Face’ Say for 21st Century Employment Relations?

Öz

When we look at the 21st century in the context of employment relations, we could not see a heart-warming scene. Roughly, it is possible to say that the mechanisms that protect the working life have become eroded or loosened and the working life has become increasingly insecure for the employees. In such a case, is it possible to put the working life on a basis with a human face? This paper tries to answer this question by John W. Budd’s theory of ‘employment with a human face’. The paper begins with a section on the frames of reference which is an important concept in employment relations literature. The next section presents the main points of the Budd’s theory and tries to answer the question.

John W. Budd’ın ‘İnsani Bir Çalışma İlişkisi’ Kuramı 21. Yüzyıl Çalışma İlişkileri İçin Neler Söylüyor?

Öz

21. yüzyıla çalışma ilişkileri bağlamında baktığımızda gördüğümüz şey pek iç açıcı değil. Kabaca çalışma hayatını koruyan mekanizmaların aşındığını veya gevşediğini ve çalışma hayatının çalışanlar için gittikçe güvencesizleştiğini söylemek mümkündür. Böyle bir durumda çalışma hayatının insani bir temele oturtulması mümkün mü? Bu çalışma, bu soruyu John W. Budd’ın ‘insani bir çalışma ilişkisi’ kuramı bağlamında cevaplandırmaya çalışmaktadır. Çalışmada öncelikle çalışma ilişkileri literatüründeki temel referans çerçeveleri sunulacak, daha sonra ise Budd’ın sözü edilen kuramının ana hatları ortaya konularak soru cevaplandırılmaya çalışılacaktır.
