Exploring the socio-political dynamics of front-line managers' HR involvement: A qualitative approach

Hussein Kurdi-Nakra et al.

Summary: This article explores the interactive processes involving HR managers, senior managers, and frontline managers (FLMs) in the implementation of HR practices. The authors find that the way FLMs enact HR practices depends on the power dynamics between HR managers and senior managers. The study reveals that enforcers use influence tactics to facilitate strict HR enactment, while endorsers use counter-influence tactics in support of deviant HR implementation behaviors. FLMs navigate both sides' influence tactics based on past involvement experiences to choose subsequent implementation behaviors.

Chain Affiliation and Human Resource Investments: Evidence from the Restaurant Industry

Tashlin Lakhani et al.

Summary: This study examines how chain affiliation affects human resource investments in restaurant establishments using organizational theory, agency theory, and strategic human resource management research. The findings indicate that chain-affiliated units make different investments in human resource practices compared to nonaffiliated units when superior organizational routines are established by the chains. However, when chain routines are not provided, franchisee-owned units tend to underinvest in human resource practices for cost reduction, while company-owned units and independently owned units invest more. The study also highlights the importance of certain human resource practices for service work and the long-term success of chains and their units.

Wage Theft and the Struggle over the Working Day in Hospitality Work: A Typology of Unpaid Labour Time

Matthew Cole et al.

Summary: This article draws on Marxist political economy to examine wage theft in hospitality work, particularly in London hotels. It presents a novel typology developed through qualitative research, highlighting how managers extract additional unpaid labor time through wage theft. The article argues that existing legal definitions and academic formulations fail to capture the full range of ways employers extract unpaid labor time, overlooking the systemic dimension of unpaid labor time under capitalism. It proposes an alternative conceptualization of wage theft that incorporates both formal violations of the law and more subtle, informal means.

Tony Royle et al.

Summary: This article examines the development of the UK 'Fast-Food Rights Campaign' and the formation of a collective identity amongst McDonald's UK workers. It illustrates how workers diagnostically frame perceived injustices related to pay and working conditions, and the importance of prognostic framing in bringing people together for a solution. The article applies Bourdieu's theory of capital and the concept of political opportunity to dissect prognostic framing and analyzes the cultural and social capital of worker leaders.

Profit over People? Evaluating Morality on the Front Line during the COVID-19 Crisis: A Front-Line Service Manager's Confession and Regrets

Anastasios Hadjisolomou et al.

Summary: This article examines how organizational policies during the COVID-19 outbreak impacted the well-being of employees, using a 'moral economy' framework. It questions the moral decisions made by managers during the crisis and highlights the dilemma faced by front-line managers in balancing conflicting moral values amidst intense market competition. The study suggests that structural constraints of front-line managerial authority have challenged moral values and limited meaningful work and well-being for front-line managers and employees.

The research contributes to understanding how frontline managers utilize both systems in a complementary manner within their constraints.
