Abstract: The present paper addresses certain factors that determine why some heterosexual men have more female sexual partners than others. Men’s exploration of multiple female sex partners can be measured by their frequency of buying sex services from prostitutes and keeping sexual relationships with multiple women within a short span of time. The paper argues that men’s differential resource attainment, their conservatism or progressivism about sexual behavior in general, and their belief system in regard to stereotypes or myths pertaining certain “expected” behaviors for women may result in some men’s preference for temporary relationships to conventional ones, which ultimately makes differences among men in exploring multiple female sexual partners. In so doing, the paper shows pathways among aforementioned social-psychological factors.

Abstract: This paper analyzes the impact of temporary work on the dynamics of production teams. This article is one of the few studies on the effects of tempwork in the auto industry, particularly at one of the top three Japanese auto makers in the US. The study reveals how the use of temporary workers creates a great divide in the life of teams, uncovering the duplicity of this employment relationship in the context of high performance work organizations.

Abstract: This study introduced a model of swift trust in temporary groups with a focus on communication behavior and it tested hypotheses and research questions in an attempt to discover predictors of swift trust and effects of swift trust on several group outcomes. The results enhance our understanding of the mechanisms through which swift trust develops and raise further questions about how other variables might play in the process of developing swift trust.

Abstract: Migrant labour from the South is a central component of many Northern labour markets. A growing body of research indicates that migrant workers hold a wide range of occupations, from undocumented workers in informal economies to workers in highly regulated temporary labour programs. These workers are incorporated into Northern labour markets through an intersection of labour market and social policies that accord varying degrees of political and economic rights to various categories of migrants, in particular in relation to occupational status. This paper argues that, within the North, the intersection of citizenship and labour rights, as constructed through forms of both labour market incorporation and social provision, constitutes a central site through which relations of marginalization and inequality are constructed. With a focus on temporary labour programs in Canada, this paper identifies the variety of ways in which national and transnational regulatory frameworks shape patterns of mobility, labour market incorporation, and the labour rights of migrant workers. The significance of migrant labour to Northern labour markets, along with the simultaneous marginalization of many groups of migrant workers, indicates the profound and multi-faceted connections between citizenship rights, labour rights, labour mobility, labour market regulation, and the character of North-South divisions. More specifically, the paper argues that North-South divisions manifest themselves within Northern labour markets through patterns of labour market segmentation based on capacities for labour market mobility, residency rights, and possibilities for family unification. Overall, segmented approaches to labour market incorporation produce heightened relations of commodification, exploitation, and marginalization for particular groups of migrant workers.
