Hi,

a  hint comes from the documentation of AxesLabel:

"Overall style of all the label-like elements can be specified by
LabelStyle"

it seems LabelStyle and TickStyle interfere with eachother and 

Plot[x^2, {x, -1, 1}, AxesLabel -> {"x", "f(x)"}, 
 LabelStyle -> Directive[FontSize -> Scaled[0.05]]]

should be what you want.

Cheers
Patrick
