LAUSR

Selectorate theory (Bueno de Mesquita et al., 2003) suggests that the main difference between dictatorships and democracies in any hierarchical entity is the number of people to whom leaders must stay accountable to accrue and maintain power. Any comprehensive labor history will confirm that employees have at times had to exert their limited power in dramatic ways to win the rights and protections they have sought, such as through militant work stoppages and other disruptive tactics, usually overseen by labor unions or other worker collectives (e.g., Murolo & Chitty, 2012). Subordinate group resistance at work Whereas SJT could explain the affective and cognitive effects of BI (or lack thereof), Haslam and Reicher’s (2012) social psychological model of resistance is appropriate for studying behavioral outcomes. According to this model, undesirable consequences like those that BI would mitigate are only one of several obstacles to resistance.
