Abstract This study explores trade union influence over human resource management (HRM) practices in Spanish and Brazilian organizations using the Cranet 2014 dataset. While some of the existing data suggest that trade unions may hold little power within surveyed organizations, we offer additional evidence contradicting this. Trade unions’ influence is better understood when taking into account the industrial relations systems of Spain and Brazil, as well as their historical evolution. Understanding such evolution helps us account for similarities and differences observed in the way trade unions influence HRM in these two countries.

工会对西班牙和巴西公司人力资源管理实践的影响的比较研究：劳资关系系统的作用及其历史演进

摘要本研究使用Cranet 2014数据集探讨了西班牙和巴西组织中工会对人力资源管理（HRM）做法的影响。尽管一些现有数据表明工会在被调查的组织中可能没有什么权力，但我们提供了与此相反的其他证据。考虑到西班牙和巴西的劳资关系制度及其历史演变，可以更好地理解工会的影响。了解这种演变有助于我们解释工会在这两个国家影响人力资源管理的方式中所观察到的异同。
