farm’s recruitment process encountered many challenges when both the first round
of recruitment in the surrounding villages and the second cross鄄provincial
recruitment had ended in failure. It was not until the third cross鄄provincial
recruitment that the farm was able to secure a stable labor force. The paper
examines the management practice of the third group of workers. The results
indicate that the unique orientation of the rubber workers towards the dormitory
became the key to labor stability. Through the interaction between the rubber
workers and the farm， the farm dormitory was endowed with traditional Lao socio鄄
cultural meanings and transformed into a village community. As a result， the village
community and the farm are merged and inter鄄constructed. The superposition of the
two has contributed to the “transfer” of the rubber workers emotional commitment
from the village to the employer， thus ensuring a stable and reliable labor force for
the farm. At the same time， the farm has also taken advantage of the farm’s
village community attributes to innovatively establish a set of effective and flexible
labor supervision and management mechanisms to further solidify labor鄄management
relations. In addition， the farm continuously expands its labor force by leveraging
the “substitute rubber worker” policy and actively recruiting the second generation
of rubber workers， turning the village into a “reservoir” of farm labor. The
transformation of farm dormitory into a village community fully demonstrates the
strong resilience of traditional family鄄village social integration among Lao workers.
In this case， the rubber workers embedded this traditional social bonding into
modern labor鄄capital relations， leading to a structural adjustment of labor鄄
management on the farm. An in鄄depth exploration of the social integration
mechanism of local labor force can help promote a more positive and stable
presence of Chinese enterprises overseas.
