"Ausgehend von einer Kritik an John Dunlops Systemtheorie industrieller Beziehungen, wird in dem Beitrag vorgeschlagen, Schwächen des Dunlopschen Ansatzes mit Hilfe einer Systemtheorie industrieller Beziehungen auf der Grundlage der Theorie autopoietischer Sozialsysteme von Niklas Luhmann zu überwinden. Der Artikel diskutiert fünf Typen von Sozialsystemen, die Luhmanns Theorie anbietet, um industrielle Beziehungen als Sozialsystem zu definieren: als Verbund lose gekoppelter Interaktionssysteme, als ein Organisationssystem, als ein Konfliktsystem, als ein Immunsystem und als ein gesellschaftliches Funktionssystem. Plädiert wird schließlich für eine Interpretation des Systems industrieller Beziehungen als voll entwickeltes Funktionssystem, das in der Weltgesellschaft operiert. Im abschließenden Teil werden wesentliche Charakteristika eines solchen autopoietischen Systems industrieller Beziehungen vorgestellt." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"The article starts with a criticism of John Dunlop's systems theory of industrial relations. The article argues that some of the weaknesses of Dunlop's approach can be overcome by a systems theoretical conceptualisation of industrial relations based on Niklas Luhmann's theory of autopoietic social systems. It discusses five types of social systems that Luhmann's theory offers to characterise industrial relations as a social system: a set of interaction systems, an organisation system, a conflict system, an immune system and a function system of society. The article proposes to adopt a view of industrial relations as a fully-fledged function system operating within the world society. In its last part it sets out the major characteristics of such an autopoietic industrial relations system." (author's abstract)... view less
