Over the past two decades the use of flexible employment
relations has increased in most developed countries. The growth of
temporary agency work constitutes a significant component of this
development. Organizations are now facing the challenges of
managing a blended workforce, i.e. a workforce consisting of both
direct hires and contractors. At a time when Europe, as well as the
rest of the world, is facing enhanced global competition and a
severe labor market crisis, an understanding of temporary
employment practices becomes all the more acute. With the evolution
of the use of agency work in the Western world over the past
decade, the chapters in this volume show how a focus on the
management and organization of temporary agency work can be helpful
to see possibilities and pitfalls for the use of temporary
employment in the wake of changed employment practices and
challenges to labor market stability and welfare structures.
Together, the new case studies presented in this volume provide
a wide scope of analysis of the organization and management of
temporary agency work, offering a much-needed contribution to the
discussion of issues and priorities that guide and shape
organizational practices today. Its particular uniqueness lies in
the empirical richness and variety of local case studies and the
way in which these are related to wider policy aims, ideological
shifts, and the dynamics of organizational practice, with a
particular focus on the organization and management of blended
workforces .
