Relations Industrielles/Industrial Relations  You have until February 28th, 2025, to submit a manuscript for the thematic issue edited by Patrice JaletteJean Charest Ph.D. and Vassil Kirov : “What are the repercussions of labour/skills shortages and scarcity on industrial relations and human resource management?”.

The goal of this special issue is to provide an opportunity for researchers to advance theoretical reflection and provide empirical evidence to better understand the repercussions of labour/skills shortages and scarcity on IR and HRM in unionized and/or nonunionized workplaces. In other words, this special issue focuses on how social actors – workers, employers, unions, sectoral bodies and states – deal with a lack of labour and skills. Submissions to this Special Issue, which enter into dialogue with existing theories about these impacts and arising adaptations and which present credible empirical evidence will be privileged.

Deadline for submissions: February 28th, 2025
