| Abstract: | This paper analyses policies for managing human resources in a German non-profit repertory theatre based on qualitative case study research. Referring to Marsden's theory of employment systems, it is suggested regarding these policies as being embedded in an interorganizational employment system, which comprises rules of job design and task assignment, the labour market, inter-company institutions and the education system. This employment system for German theatre artists is marked by a high labour mobility and contingent work arrangements, but is also characterized by ensemble structure providing (temporary) stability of the workforce. |
