Abstract

Labor–management relations (LMR) – also referred to as labor, employment, or industrial relations – concerns how relationships between employers and workers are regulated, organized, and experienced. As a field, LMR focuses on the specific institutions, social actors, and processes that shape the dynamics and outcomes of these employment relationships. Because LMR has profound implications for individual well‐being, organizational functioning, and the socioeconomic performance and cohesion of societies, it enjoys enduring interest from policy‐makers, practitioners, and academics in various disciplines. The entry summarizes core ideas in LMR, delineates the origins and perspectives in LMR as an academic field, and details the institutions and actors of LMR. It ends with an overview of current developments.
