| Abstract: | This paper draws upon new research in the UK into the relationship between changing organizational forms and the reshaping of work in order to consider the changing nature of the employment relationship. The development of more complex organizational forms - such as cross organization networking, partnerships, alliances, use of external agencies for core as well as peripheral activities, multi-employer sites and the blurring of public/private sector divide - has implications for both the legal and the socially constituted nature of the employment relationship. The notion of a clearly defined employer- employee relationship becomes difficult to uphold under conditions where employees are working in project teams or on-site beside employees from other organizations. |
