    An economic analysis of the communication skills in globalised industrial relations: social dialogue and the negotiation process in Turkey
    (Univ Complutense Madrid, 2011-03-01) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı
    The purpose of this paper is to provide an economic analysis of the social dialogue experience in Turkey with an emphasis on the role of communication in industrial relations. We ascertain social dialogue -and the related negotiation process- as a major communication form in industrial relations and attempt to find out whether it serves well to promote consensus building and democratic involvement among the main stakeholders in employment. We particularly question the success of the existing social dialogue structures and processes in Turkey in resolving economic and social issues through communication, advancing social and industrial peace, improving competitiveness through increased productivity and complying international commitments in employment.

    Institution-building on shop-floor employees’ representation with reference to international norms and representative industrial democracy: a first attempt to model dual-channel representation in Turkey
    (Birleşik Metal İş Sendikası, 2022-10-24) Dereli, Toker; Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı; Çağlı Kaynak, Elif
    This article explores the feasibility of setting up a shopfloor social dialogue mechanism in Turkey based on the synthesis of EU Directive (2002/14/EC), the German works council model and various dimensions of Turkish labour law and practice. Evaluating the outputs of the questionnaire conducted between the years 2015-2016 and addressed to selected samples of representatives of labour unions and employers’ organizations as well as to officials of the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the article proposes two alternatives for a dual-channel representation system: namely, the establishment of works councils to co-exist with unions and the election of employee representatives. Since the majority of Turkey’s workplaces are currently unrepresented by unions, it is assumed that either option may serve the objectives of adapting Turkish labour relations to international standards and locating representative industrial democracy at the core of work life.

    What is Turkish economy currently telling us a comparative analysis of trade and labor market indicators
    (Athens Institute for Education and Research, 2011-12-22) Soykut Sarıca, Pınar; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı
    In the aftermath of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, several economies including developed ones have experienced reductions in growth which can be attributed to falls in trade, commodity prices, investment and employment. In this context, this paper ascertains the current dynamics of trade and labor market in Turkey for the years 2007 to 2011 and presents an overview of the main mechanisms through which the crisis is impacting the country. We first evaluate the key indicators of the labor market, namely labor force participation rate, employment-topopulation ratio, employment by sector, hours of work, unemployment rate, working age population and wages. We then investigate the main trade indicators, i.e. trade of goods and services, current account deficit and balance of payments. By building a comparative perspective, we attempt to highlight some policy options available to countries confronting the crisis in order to have positive outcomes such as employment generation, improving aggregate welfare and a sound economic recovery.
