Industrial Relations Journal (IRJ)

Industrial Relations Journal is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal published by John Wiley & Sons that focuses on research into industrial relations and the employment relationship. Established in 1970, it provides an interdisciplinary platform for research that explores the changing nature of work, labour market institutions, employment systems, regulation, and the dynamics between employers, employees, unions, and the state. The journal publishes original empirical research, theoretical papers, critical analyses, and policy-oriented studies on a wide range of topics related to industrial relations. Common themes include the evolution of collective bargaining, employee representation, labour market reforms, workplace governance structures, gig and precarious work, employment law, organizational change, and issues of equity and worker well-being. It appeals to academics, labour economists, policymakers, trade union leaders, HR professionals, and practitioners seeking evidence-based insights into labour and employment processes. With a quarterly publication frequency, Industrial Relations Journal contributes to ongoing global debates about how work is structured and governed, how labour standards evolve, and how socio-economic shifts such as globalization, technological change, and demographic trends shape the future of work. Its long history positions it as a valuable resource for understanding both historical developments and contemporary challenges in industrial and employment relations.
