INTRODUCTION “Labor dispatch,” “talent dispatch,” “human resources outsourcing”: these are some of the names used in China to describe the temporary staffing industry, an increasingl
2、y controversial practice in China. The industry rests on a triangular employment relationship amongst a private employment agency, employees, and the corporate customer. Like temporary staffing agencies in the West, the private employment agency in China dispatches its employees to work for the corp
3、orate customer, and the corporate customer pays the agency a fee in exchange for the labor of the employees and the staffing service it receives. In China, supporters of the industry see it as a cost-cutting, human resource-management tool as well as a policy tool for solving unemployment. Its criti
4、cs consider the industry as a means for companies to make workers more “flexible” with fewer protections. “Temporary staffing agencies are a form of labor market intermediary, meeting the needs of client companies for contract workers of many kinds. With a core business of labor supply, temporary st
5、affing is a very particular kind of people-based service activity, and one that by its very nature is always delivered locally.” Because of these characteristics, coupled typically with a trans-local and even global recruiting strategy, Coe, Johns, and Ward argue that the staffing industry must oper
6、ate within national legal framework rather than either local or transnational ones. At the same time, many temporary staffing firms in China are transnational operations, serving the outsourcing needs of their transnational clients. This globalization of the staffing industry must therefore be situa
7、ted in Chinas specific national context. Furthermore, Jamie Peck and Nik Theodore argue that the transnational staffing industry does not merely respond to national labor-market conditions, but rather is an active collective agent in reregulating local labor markets. Temp agencies “actively shape th
8、e growth in contingent labor through their role in labor-market intermediation, by selling employers the cost-cutting and labor controlling virtues of workforce flexibility while mobilizing contingent workers and brokering connections to employers.” I approach the operation of this industry in China
9、 in the following way. Although China is in broad terms an illiberal polity, the Chinese state is increasingly adopting a neo-liberal way of governing or neo liberal govern mentality. Ironically, it does so in order to strengthen Party-state rule. Following Michel Foucault, “govern mentality” refers
10、 to forms of governance that utilize a network of state and non-state actors, with the specific aim of steering individuals (both individual persons and individual institutions) to govern themselves in the market economy. Data for this paper are drawn from my personal interviews with managers in thr
11、ee labor dispatch companies, government officials in the Bureau of Labor and Social Security, and the Bureau of Personnel (the two bureaus were recently merged as the Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security) in Shanghai and its surrounding areas, and Wenzhou, Hangzhou, and Ningbo, Zhejiang Pro
12、vince. Data are also drawn from document analyses. The theoretical orientation of the paper rests on a growing literature on the temporary staffing industry. Although an important edited book on Chinas labor dispatch industry was recently published in China, thus far, I have encountered little schol
13、arly work in English on the staffing industry in China, nor are there reliable data on the scope of this industry. To my knowledge, this paper is thus a first attempt to understand the domestic context within which the staffing industry operates. Thus, it seeks to make some contribution to understan
14、ding the globalization of the temporary staffing industry, an active agent in creating the global flexible labor regime. The emergence of govern mentality as a leading theme in labor and employment regulation can be traced as a historical development. The Chinese central government initiated the eme
15、rgence of a labor market by introducing the labor contract into its lifelong employment system in 1986.The aim was to make Chinese labor less “rigid,” and thereby meet a key demand of the foreign capital that led Chinas post-reform economic development. This move toward a more “flexible” labor force
16、 became much more abrupt as China prepared to enter the World Trade Organization in 2001. The real causal processes informing this change do not turn exclusively on the role of nation-state adhesion to international treaties. By participating as the manufacturing site in an expanding set of global c
17、ommodity chains, the Chinese government and domestic firms have also been compelled to adopt global rules of governance that operate directly along the chains rather than indirectly through the nation-state. Local governments, the international organizations such as the International Labor Organizat
18、ion (ILO) and the World Bank, both international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and domestic NGOs on workers rights; and firms have been involved in labor governance, exercising influence at different nodes along the chains. Central to the staffing industrys growth has been the way in which t
19、he staffing industry has established its members as trusted mediators in the existing Chinese context of predominantly state- and network-mediated employment. As I will discuss in the following section, the staffing industry promotes ISO 9000 and codes of conduct to establish this trust in job appli
20、cants and client firms alike. The self regulatory basis for instilling such trust is itself a move away from longer established bases for trust in China, which have been based on personal and social connections. This transition is broadly in line with the Chinese governments approach to “active empl
21、oyment” policy: “workers must rely on themselves to seek jobs; the market mediates employment; and government promotes employment.” In this sense, then, the staffing industry contributes to turning the Chinese jobseekers into a contingent labor supply (especially migrants and those laid off during t
22、he economic restructuring of the state sector): its operations mesh with capitals insatiable but fickle need for numerical flexibility in the labor force. Both domestic and foreign firms increasingly consider using labor dispatch companies. It appears in particular that what they offer (labor dispat
23、ch services and human-resources outsourcing) is increasingly seen as the best way to get around Labor Law (1994) and Labor Contract Law (2007) regulations. This is particularly true of the new rules in the Labor Contract Law regarding the length of labor contract, the conditions under which workers
24、may be fired, and so on. When labor dispatch companies in China sell their business to firms, a central selling point is that by using labor-dispatch services and by outsourcing human resources operations, firms not only save transaction costs on the labor market, but also focus more on their strate
25、gic goals.13 Beyond these more immediate growth pressures, the staffing industry has grown in China since its introduction to China in the 1990s for another important reason: rising unemployment. Because large numbers of secure jobs have abruptly been made redundant, especially in the state sector,
26、the governments active employment policy encourages the unemployed to seek part-time, temporary, and seasonal work. Labor dispatch services are considered the most efficient to help the unemployed find this kind of work. Labor dispatch companies, in turn, also represent themselves as making a contri

In the following sections, I sketch the history of labor market structure and regulation since the late 1970s; and I explore the characteristics and problems of the contemporary temporary staffing i

Chinas subsequent participation in a mounting number of “global commodity chains” (IT, fashion, toys, and so on) 15 was facilitated by this uncanny coincidence.

37、另一个重要原因是:失业率上升。由于有稳定的工作突然被大量裁减,特别是在国有部门,政府的积极的就业政策鼓励失业人士寻找兼职,临时和季节性工作。劳务派遣服务被认为是最有效地协助失业人士寻找这方面的工作。反过来劳务派遣公司也做出了一份贡献自己的代表作为解决中国失业问题的社会问题。在下面的章节中,我勾画出劳动力市场结构和规例 20世纪 70 年代后期以来的历史,而我探讨了当代在我刚才概述的取向临时工作人员的行业问题的特点。 二、 中国 的 开放 中 国从 1978 年开始的经济改革方案,以开放其经济和外交政策,外面的世界,并改革其国内的社会主义经济。它这样做是在发展中国家中和发达国家的经济结构调整的浪潮。 中国的参与,在随后的“全球商品链”安装数量(资讯,时装,玩具等) 15 提供了便利这一离奇的巧合。 中国从发达国家被提供理想目的地用于外包业务的制造业活动。
