项目摘要

The objective of this research was to compare aspects of female migrant workers' employment and lifestyles in the coastal areas of China, under differing management regimes. In particular, the research took up three electronics firms in Guangdong Province, comparing and discussing the employment and conditions of female migrant workers, using data from our interviews and questionnaire surveys. We summarize our findings as follows :1. From the perspective of management, Firm A in Shenzhen exhibited a stable pattern of management with several Japanese features. They had created a system that enabled a stable procurement of middle managers and in-firm stratification. They had achieved a stable growth throughout the firm. Firm B's management pursued change. Relying increasingly on local labor for their resources, they employed a management style befitting the cultures and practices of the locality and achieved increased productivity from their female workers. Company C exhibited an extende … More d expansion pattern and makes use of 'transnational' human resources, carrying out cost savings by making use of favorable tax policies through reliance on joint-venture production.2. In terms of employment, Firm A mainly utilized a three-shift system with daily work. Firms B and C employed two-shift systems with overtime. There was a median gap of 200 yuan in the pay, and wages were a significant factor in workers' job satisfaction insofar as the workers' ability could be demonstrated through the wage. Overtime encroached on the length of free time, and we could discern slight differences among firms vis a vis the acquisition of a new knowledge of leisure and the evaluation of the migrant worker lifestyle overall. In all, however, female migrant workers evaluated their experiences positively.3. When comparing these three firms in terms of gender and perceptions of inequality between men and women, there were significant differences between Firm B and the other two firms as regards pay and bonus, but on other aspects, we could not necessarily see a significant difference. However, in Firm A where we could directly compare male and female workers, there was a significant difference in type of occupation, of which we could say in itself demonstrated a division of labor by sex.

这项研究的目的是比较在不同的管理制度下，在中国沿海地区，女性移民工人就业和生活方式的各个方面。特别是，该研究使用了我们的访谈和问卷调查中的数据，在广东省占用了三家电子公司，比较了女性移民工人的就业和条件。我们总结了我们的发现如下：1。从管理的角度来看，深圳的A公司表现出稳定的管理模式，具有几个日本功能。他们创建了一个系统，该系统可以稳定地采购中层管理人员和企业内分层。他们在整个公司中取得了稳定的增长。 B公司的管理人员追求了变化。他们越来越多地依靠当地的劳动来获得其资源，他们从事适合当地文化和实践的管理风格，并从女性工人那里提高了生产力。 C公司揭示了扩展的……更多的扩展模式，并利用“跨国”人力资源，通过减轻合资生产来利用有利的税收政策来节省成本。2。在就业方面，公司A主要利用了每日工作的三个移动系统。 B和C公司采用了加班的两移系统。工资中有200元人民币的中间差距，而工资是工人工作满意度的重要因素，因为工资可以通过工资来证明工人的能力。加班时间侵占了空闲时间，我们可以辨别公司在获得新知识以及总体上对移民工人生活方式的评估的公司中略有差异。然而，总的来说，女性移民工人对其经历进行了积极的评估3。在对这三家公司的性别和男女之间不平等的看法进行比较时，公司和其他两家公司之间在薪酬和奖金方面存在显着差异，但在其他方面，我们不一定会看到显着差异。但是，在A中，我们可以直接比较男性和女性工人，在占领类型上存在显着差异，我们可以说，这本身就是通过性别划分的。较少的
