Inadequate work performance and incompetence have often been considered by Canadian labor arbitrators within the context of promotion, demotion and transfer cases. However, these issues have also frequently arisen, in the last decade, as the primary issues in discipline and discharge cases as well. Inappropriate employee behavior falls into 2 categories: culpable behavior (intential actions) and nonculpable behavior (no-fault action). A culpable failure to perform one's duties is referred to as nonperformance. In cases of culpable behavior, a disciplinary approach is appropriate and required. An analysis of a number of arbitration awards is conducted. It is believed that the distinction between culpable work performance and nonculpable incompetence must be maintained and clearly understood by the management, unions and arbitrators. The distinction is necessary to the achievement of consistency and fairness in dealing with problems of nonculpable incompetence and inadequate work performance in the workplace.

Even though there has been an significant increase in the number of women entering the Canadian labor force, there has been little impact on their labor market status. The serious labor market plight of women has focused attention on such issues as pay and employment equity, family responsibility-related leaves, better child care facilities, equal treatment and opportunities, and a nondiscriminatory working environment free from sexual harassment. These issues have become a major part of the Canadian labor movement's active legislative and bargaining agenda in recent years. A number of selected unions are evaluated to demonstrate the effectiveness of unions' efforts toward incorporating these issues into their collective agreements. Findings indicate that union efforts to achieve a better deal for women have had mixed success.

Cette recherche concerne un sujet peu étudié dans la littérature en gestion des ressources humaines. Il s'agit des rôles de base d'un «service» de ressources humaines. Théoriquement, un certain nombre de rôles fondamentaux lui sont attribués par divers auteurs, aussi bien aux États-Unis, au Canada, en France qu'en Grande-Bretagne. Cependant, il n'existe pratiquement pas d'études empiriques pour appuyer ces rôles tels que conçus. La présente recherche a permis, dans un premier temps, de développer un modèle servant à circonscrire le domaine concernant les rôles des services de ressources humaines. Un questionnaire portant sur six rôles considérés fondamentaux d'après ce modèle a par la suite été élaboré et administré à un échantillon de 264 organisations américaines de divers secteurs industriels.
