EMPLOYEE
RELATION PHILOSOPHY
The
term consists of two types which are unitary view and pluralist view. The
concept of social partnership and, on the part of employers’ belief in
collective or individual approach.
UNITARY
VIEW
This
is typically held by employers who identified its function as directing and
controlling the workforce to achieve economic and growth objectives. To this
end management sees that it’s a rule-making authority. Management tend to
consider the enterprise as unitary system with one source of authority itself
and one focus on loyalty of the organization.
Unitarism
in essence implies the absence of factionalism within the enterprise.
(Fajana,2000). Conflict identified as irrational and sacking of striking
workers, is prefer to negotiate or consultation. Conflicts identified as
pathological. As per the unitary perspective trade unions are regarded as
invasion in to the organization from outside competing with the management for
the loyalty of workforce.
PLURALIST
VIEW
As
describe by fox (1966) is that an industrial organization is a plural society
containing many related but separate interests and objectives which must be
maintained in some kind of equilibrium.
