Research Abstract |
This monograph presents an analysis of several experiments in personnel administration and union-management cooperation of America's leading corporations founded the Special Conference Committee (SCC) that took place during the 1920's. Those employers who Carried out Welfare Capitalism tended to be found in relatively stable big business ; when this was combined with progressive and corporatist personnel policies, they stood a higher chance of avoiding unionization. the present work is an attempt to understand how personnel administration was developed and to identify the historical process by which Welfare Capitalism-employee representation, "new" welfare work, employment management-were trnsformed. The Rockefeller intersts created the SCC in 1919 to coordinate labor relations and personnel policies. The corporate members included Jersey Standard, Bethlehem Steel, DuPont, General Electric, General Motors, Goodyers, International Harvwster, Irving National Bank, U.S.Rubber, and Westinghouse. The SCC's approach to combating unionism was relatively sophisticated. Companies in the SCC promoted three areas related to job security : recognition of seniority, the "new" welfare work, and emproyment stabilization program through its close ties to organization like the YMCA and AMA. This reserch is based on the experiences of variety of industries and uses survey date to report on the practices of many firms during the 1920's. We offer some substantiative thoughts on the historical development of bureaucratic employment practices in SCC's conservative, decentralized model as compared to the open-shop drive of the American Plan. Those comparative research and historical analysis on American workplace are rough ideas rather than polished theories, althogh we believe they will prove helpful to American labor manegement history scholars in Japan of this study.
