ABSTRACT
Since reform and opening, small and medium-size enterprise (SMES) will soon become
the main structure of the market economy, also promote social stability and will be the
foundation strength of advancing economic development. During the transition period,
labor relation as an important aspect of social relations is increasingly gaining attention.
Because of the special feature and operation mechanism, the power between employers
and employees in SMES is generally not balanced leading to the instability and multiply
conflicts about labor relations. Especially since the financial crisis, due to cost pressures
and market economic recession, SMES’ profits get a sharp decrease. And in SEMS the
frequent phenomenon of labor conflicts began to occur and the scope of labor conflict
gradually began to expand especially in the labor contract, working conditions, labor
compensation and labor security etc. is particularly prominent. In recent years, the case
of labor disputes is increasing at an average annual rate of 30% especially in 2008
reached a peak when the new "Labor Law" issued. Among employers and employees
that the difference are extensive and obvious in SMES, they not only got the economic,
institutional and moral constraints which are limited but also lacked reasonable and
effective operations of the mechanism, resulting in the study of labor relations is
complex and disorder. Because of these characteristics, labor relationsissues directly
affect the development of social stability, which should be an emphasized factor of
building a harmonious society.
With its universal welfare model, a high degree of harmony and common prosperity,
labor relations in Nordic is well known around world. Its characteristics are: high
organizational participation rates, reasonable and effective mechanism for collective
bargaining, a sound legal system, free and open operation, overall welfare and security.
Although economic development, labor market conditions, social and political system
among our county and the Nordic countries are quite different, but we can still learn
from their policies. We can learn the factors of the process of formation and evolution
about the Nordic model to build a harmonious labor relationship mechanism.
Based on the above discussion, this article will focus on the comparative labor relations
of SMES between China model and the Nordic model. Associated with factor analysis
method of system dynamics, I divided the factors which influence the labor relations
system to form and evolve into four categories as basic input factors, the tripartite
relationship between the factors, labor-management game process factors, factors of
labor model results and established association - the dynamic model about labor
relations. On this basis, I tried to find the main drivers about formation and evolution of
labor relations model and then quantize the concept. Then, according to the
questionnaire about SEMS coming from Nordic and China, I collected the specific data
to create an empirical model with using the analysis tools of structural equation. With
