Standards guter Arbeit

The changes in the labour market as a result of an increase in non-standard employment raises the question of how to ensure decent labour standards today. This question cannot be answered by one discipline alone. Instead, finding an answer demands collaboration in an interdisciplinary endeavour to determine labour standards for improved well-being. In this collection of studies, contributions from psychology look at labour and health; contributions from human resource management (HRM) investigate the effects of both HRM strategies and diversity management and of religion at work, and look at the impact of legal regulations on working hours and co-determination; a contribution from protestant theology analyses the interaction between work and meaning; and finally contributions from the field of law take a look at the legal status of employees when firms are organised as networks and at the social security regulations for self-employed individuals. With contributions by Katharina Klug and Jörg Felfe; Christine Busch and Tim Vahle-Hinz; Sven Hauff; Daniela Rastetter; Dorothea Alewell and Tobias Moll; Barbara Müller, Christoph Seibert and Oliver Vornfeld; Florian Schramm and Ines Kanngießer; Margarete Schuler-Harms and Katharina Goldberg; Hans Hanau and Wenzel Matiaske
