Staff on Strike – A Solution? Evidence from the State-owned Enterprises (SOEs)

Abstract

The paper proceeds to a journey on the history of work conflicts in the public sector, a less confrontational environment as compared to other milieus. As the lack of work conflicts in the public sector is a hypothesis based on the nature of the latter, the existence of such manifestations of discontent is linked to a few circumstances that are analyzed from a managerial point of view. The outcome is challenging and rather unclear as compared to the initial hypothesis and leaves room for further investigations and discussion.
