Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of the institutional context in shaping managerial policies in the personal services sector in Belgium. More specifically, this paper aims to understand not only the influence of differentiated institutional contexts, as materialized in joint committees and their regulation on human resource practices, but also to interpret the effect that the type of activity developed by the firm can have on human resource management. Accordingly, the objective is to identify the potential links between some managerial models – and particularly the difference between social enterprises and for-profit organizations - and the specific contexts in which the companies operate. We will then see how those policies may have an impact on employment integration, and more precisely for vulnerable workers.
