Abstract:

Using case study method, the paper explores the theoretical framework of new generation migrant workers' urban integration from the perspective of corporate governance and reveals enterprises' important role in promoting the peasant workers' quality of work life for urban integration. Based on the case of Haidilao, the paper verifies the new generation migrant workers' key dimension of quality of work life. Our findings include:(1) different from the older migrant workers for only economic demands, new-generation migrant workers pay more attention to the quality of work life; (2) organizational support from enterprises by influencing the quality of work life to realize migrant workers' urban integration; (3) the key dimensions of migrant workers' QWL including fairness, balance between work and family life, identity and professional growth chance. These conclusions provide empirical evidence for the urban integration of the new generation of migrant workers from the micro-level path. It also contributes new knowledge of Chinese scenarios to organizational support theory and quality of work life theory. In addition, this research also has certain practical value for alleviating the difficulties of enterprise employment.
