| Abstract: | According to the workplace partnership (hencefroth as: p-ship/s) theory p-ship/s structures combining strategic and operational arrangements and addressing substantively significant agendas of broad scope should lead to positive outcomes for the main stakeholder (as: s-h.) groups: employers, employees and unions. Based on survey data on managers involved in all known p-ship/s in unionized companies of the Republic of Ireland in 2000, 'integrated business partnerships' (here as: i-b-ps.) are distinguished from 'exploratory partnerships' characterized by operational or strategic structures. Managers involved in i-b-ps. are shown to assess more positively a range of current and expected outcomes of significance for each s-h. group. However, managers' assessments and expectations also point towards a bias in favour of employer interests in the outcomes of i-b-ps. |
