Abstract
The sociological construct of “culture
lag” which suggest that human
response always lags behind technological
advance can also be extended
to the reality-theory and reality-
practice context of the world
of work. Human resource management
and industrial relations theory
and practice, discipline and function
whose role is to help in understanding
and dealing with the reality
of work and the reality for workers
seem to be in a different world
al t oge t her di sconnect e d f rom
today’s reality. This study seeks to
examine this lag between today’s
reality and yesterday’s theory-practice
constructions in the context of
the workers and their working conditions
in the national garment industry
supplier units linked to the
global supply chain of international
brands.
