Industrial Relation Climate and Provision of Labour Welfare Measures in Manufacturing Sector

The study was conducted on a sample population of 150 employees of two manufacturing units based in West Bengal, India. Mostly permanent workers at plant level and employees of the zonal offices were considered for the purpose of the study. The overall objectives of the study focus on finding the general causes of job dissatisfaction and industrial fatigue among workers in the manufacturing sector, including the problem of industrial relations and getting proper statutory labour welfare benefits. Improper job scheduling, overburden of work and job complexities were some of the major factors of industrial fatigues that had been detected from structured questionnaire survey. Though majority of the employees revealed that the general industrial climate was good, in many cases employees were not aware of the claim settlement procedure about various provisions under the Gratuity Act and ESI Act leading to delays and payments not being received in time. This study also established the fact that overall industrial relation climate, availability of welfare measures and awareness level of the employees about different social security schemes varies with the educational level, total tenure of the employees in the present company and total years of working experience of the employees in the manufacturing sector. Lastly, lack of proper trade union to reflect employee grievances, proper training and engagement programmes are the other causes of disengagement and attrition of employees in the manufacturing sector, as also reflected from this study.

Advocacy Model for Combined Process (Med-Arbitration)-Based Resolution of Industrial Relations Conflicts Between Trade Unions and Businesses

<em>In the process of settling labor-management conflicts, trade unions play a crucial role for employees, employers, and trade unions themselves. According to Law Number 2 of 2004 concerning Industrial Relations Dispute Settlement, disputes about labor relations are settled through Bipartite, Tripatrit (labor relations mediation, conciliation, and arbitration), and if non-litigation legal remedies (apart from arbitration) fail, the matter is then brought before the Industrial Relations Court. Due to its proven effectiveness in resolving commercial conflicts, the combined process (med-arb) idea is thought to facilitate dispute resolution in industrial relations problems. Two issues are addressed in this research: the idea of combined process (med-arb) as it applies to the resolution of labor-union disputes with employers and the idea of legal certainty in the process of using combined process (med-arb) to resolve labor-union disputes with employers.</em>

Solving a multi-objective chance constrained hierarchical optimization problem under intuitionistic fuzzy environment with its application

Various optimization approaches have been developed and used for generating optimal solutions for different industry related optimization problems. The semantic representation of imprecise coefficients and various types of uncertainties arising in real life optimization problems are still a challenging task and require attention of academicians as well as professionals. Decision makers (DMs) often face problems in presenting the linguistically expressed constraints. The impreciseness of information also plays a key role in modelling and thus in decision making. The impreciseness of coefficients is usually handled by using various elements of fuzzy set theory. The uncertainty associated with constraints in optimization problem is handled by using stochastic programming approaches. These coefficients are usually revealed by a logical DM, who takes into account the scope of hesitation along with the imprecise nature of data. Such coefficients can be very well represented by using Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. In this work, an approach for solving multi-objective bi-level chance constrained optimization problem in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment has been presented. The technological coefficients and the coefficients of objective functions are represented by Triangular Intuitionistic fuzzy numbers whereas normal random variables are used to represent the coefficient of resources. The concept of component wise optimization is used for the reduction of intuitionistic fuzzy objective into their equivalent deterministic form. The concept of alpha-beta cut, chance constrained programming and interval programming are then used to convert the problem into a deterministic multi-objective bi-level linear programming problem. The resultant deterministic optimization problem is then solved by using TOPSIS method. The production planning problem of a firm has been modelled and solved by using the proposed approach.

Upaya Hukum dalam Perundingan Binapartit

The demands of industrialization are increasingly important for the progress of a country. Therefore, a set of laws is needed which can become a separate forum for dealing with disputes within companies, in this case through bipartite negotiations. Bipartite negotiations are the first attempt taken to resolve industrial relations problems that occur. Therefore, it is interesting to carry out an in-depth analysis regarding the importance of conducting bipartite negotiations in resolving industrial relations disputes which will form the legal basis for the agreement. Bipartite negotiations as an initial effort to resolve industrial relations disputes require good faith in the negotiation process, the formation of collective agreements, and the implementation of collective agreements. Accuracy and prudence are also needed in the formulation of collective agreements so that the agreement clauses do not result in losses or problems in its implementation. The results of this study indicate that the effectiveness of Bipartite LKS plays an active role as a media for positive deliberations to be used as a place for communication and consultation regarding new policies from the company as well as a place for expressing the aspirations of the working parties to achieve policies that do not harm either party. In addition, LKS Bipartite is also a preventive tool to create a harmonious, focused work environment that is in line with the company's vision and mission.

Strategic perspectives on quitting or remaining in commercial agriculture in South Africa and why it matters

ABSTRACT This paper explores reasons why some commercial producers in South Africa are expecting to quit and sell their farms, and others are not. Of 450 respondents to a voluntary survey, distinctly different groups of producers emerged concerning their longer-term strategic planning and how they experience and absorb current threats and challenges. Unsupervised learning on the dataset is imposed using a cluster analysis to explore the commonalities and the underlying factors why producers would expect to exit or not. Factors that we hypothesised might play a role included a producer's age and financial position, rural safety concerns, labor problems, industry-related problems, and opportunities for off-farm earnings. The factors the potentially exiting producers had in common were financial difficulty, which was uncorrelated to turnover, problems with access to dependable labor, uncertainty regarding land reform policy, and rural safety concerns. Intention to retire also played a role, although to a lesser extent. It is more often a combination of factors, rather than a single factor, that makes a producer more likely to decide to quit and sell in the future. With the exclusion of farm safety concerns and labor problems, the identified factors in this study are in step with those found internationally.

Analysis of factors affecting sustainable performance in construction sites using fuzzy AHP-WASPAS methods

Sustainability is having our own needs without adjusting any problem related activities. Mainly we need three factors to find the sustainable related problems in working area .We need to identify the best alternative method to find the problem in day to day work activities. Sustainable construction was only practice of creating a best alternative way to solve the problems. The environment and working area major problems was to be identified in the construction site by using above fuzzy AHP method. The modern world sustainable is the best solution for solving construction and industry related problems easily. Our main motive is to reduce environment related problems and to reduce that sustainability is the best way to find suitable solutions for this problem. By using MCDM method and we have to find 18 alternatives and 5 criteria for Job safety analysis (JSA) and Failure mode effective analysis (FMEA).Analytical Hierarchical Process and WASPAS method is used to find the rank the problems and to solve in construction site.

The role of unions in solving industrial relations problems at Pt. Pos Indonesia (Persero) Bandung Head Office

In this study the researcher wanted to know how important the roles carried out by trade unions for employees, as well as the problems related to industrial relations, where the problems of industrial relations became a hot issue discussed in the corporate environment. In this research, the role of trade unions and problems in industrial relations were examined. The object of this research is employees at PT. Pos Indonesia (Persero), the center of Bandung, has 80 people using census techniques. This study uses a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The test used to test the research instrument in the form of validity and reliability testing. Data analysis using simple linear regression analysis, correlation coefficient. The results show that the role of trade unions in solving industrial relations problems is in the sufficient category. The results of the calculation of the correlation, the variable union (X) against the variable industrial relations (Y) of 0.773 means that both variables have a positive and significant relationship. The coefficient of determination is 59.7% while the remaining 40.3% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. Thus, the role carried out by trade unions is very important, but in carrying out its functions, trade unions have not been optimal in their duties to defend employee rights.

The performativity of the tourism specialism knowledge network: sporting event economic impact assessment

ABSTRACT This study examines the performativity of contemporary knowledge in a tourism specialism – sporting event economic impact research – through a relational bibliometric analysis of articles within tourism journals indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) from 2000 until 2018. The paper aims to propose a novel methodological approach using social network analysis (SNA) to evaluate and visualize a performativity citation network of the most influential papers in the specialism with a reference to a ‘tribes and territories’ framework. The findings suggest that performativity – based on funding comments within the acknowledgements and the main text – is an insightful input that has a novel quality in the interpretation of tourism academic citation networks. Therefore, the common interpretation of citation-based knowledge networks on quantitative academic outputs, such as papers citations, has been supplemented with a performativity perspective focused on practical solutions to industry-related problems.

IMPACT OF INDUSTRIAL UNIONS STRIKE ON THE PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES IN NIGERIA

The Nigerian University system, which is designed and packaged to be a fulcrum for national development has witnessed so much industrial unrest. Strikes of various and reasons have become a normal phenomenon in growing inconsiderate policy making relationship between the government and academia. Though it is stipulated in the constitution that strikes can be used as avenues to express public opinion which can bring positive changes, and the frequency of industrial crisis/disputes has affects the standard and products of public Universities in Nigeria despite highly improved inputs and this situation is mirrored effectively in the Nigerian economy. This paper reviews the impact of industrial unions strike on the performance of public universities in Nigeria. The study revealed that the problem of industrial relations in the Nigerian University system were found to be lack of education of some labour leaders, the rigid structure of relationships, lack of flow of communication, management and government meddling with union affairs, frequent trade disputes, under funding and inadequate teaching facilities. Political factors were also discovered as some of the causes of industrial disputes within the university system. These affect student academic performance and generally loss of productivity in economic sector of Nigeria. The study recommended that both union leaders and management representatives should from time to time embark on training to understand the workings of industrial relations.

The Bullock Report and European Experience (1977)

Whatever the shortcomings of the Bullock Committee’s terms of reference, the injunction to take account of European experience was not one of them. The volume and scope of the evidence is, however, limited: equal representation for shareholders and workers has been tried only in the German coal and steel industries where it was introduced by the occupation authorities after the Second World War. Most European countries, including France and Italy, have nothing to offer. The Committee relied mainly on West Germany and Sweden, with occasional references to Holland and Denmark. Continental versions of industrial democracy worked where an industrial relations system already existed, developed through workplace and industry institutional practices over decades. Nevertheless, the Committee’s majority report used European evidence to support its three main proposals. Worker directors are irrelevant to the task of reforming British industrial relations. European experience is of limited relevance because Britain is not behind European countries in its problem of industrial relations in the enterprise, but ahead of them in what the late Allan Flanders called ‘the challenge from below’, which is being posed all over the world but more sharply in Britain than anywhere else.

TOWARDS MANAGEMENT EXCELLENCE: THE CASE OF SOUTH AFRICAN PROFESSIONAL BODIES

Professional bodies represent practitioners who recurrently seek guidance on industry-related problems and challenges. Research has revealed that professional bodies are lacking in effectiveness and need to improve so that their affiliates can obtain maximum value. The purpose of the study was to empirically develop a framework for the management of professional bodies by exploring the views and opinions of 92 participants employed in the management of professional bodies in South Africa. The data was collected from interviews (pilot) and from a questionnaire (primary instrument) that was analysed statistically, predominantly using factor analysis, to determine the significant factors that contributed to the development of a framework for professional bodies. Eleven significant factors emanated from the factor analysis that informed the empirically developed framework. Government, academics, and management of professional bodies are key beneficiaries of this framework, as it makes a unique contribution to the improvement of professional body management.

Knowledge Production through Interdisciplinary Skills

This study contributes to existing methodological knowledge by showing how a transformed research methods curriculum, which is beyond the milieu of schooling, can engage postgraduate students in a critical dialogue on how knowledge is produced in industry and higher education. Initial insights are drawn from two interpretive studies that employed interdisciplinary methods, and guidelines are developed to encourage educators and industry experts to be reflexive about producing knowledge that is needed for managerial decision making. Further insights were also drawn from in-depth interviews with 20 postgraduate students and six research supervisors across different universities. The findings demonstrate how the adoption of interdisciplinary research skills is interconnected with moving research students from a position of being disengaged to being engaged when conducting research, and consequently producing managers that are better equipped to deal with the challenges facing industry in a globalized business environment. The authors argue that by embracing traditional and innovative interdisciplinary research skills in the research methods curricula, future managers are presented with richer information that will help to solve industry-related problems. It is further argued that this will also help to sharpen the skills needed in emerging economies to deal with challenges in the world of work.

Engaging with management

AbstractThis article examines Bill McCarthy's engagement with management, distinguishing between supply and demand side forms of involvement. Arguing that McCarthy placed considerable weight on management as the main driver of industrial relations reform, the article highlights the prescriptive advice and support Bill supplied on such reform. Noting that McCarthy was regularly in demand to teach managers and conduct major inquiries on key industrial relations issues and problems, the article suggests that Bill was clearly trusted and held in high esteem by management despite his strong and explicit commitment to the labour movement.

Rigid wage-setting and the effect of a supply shock, fiscal and monetary policies on Chinese economy by a CGE analysis

The purpose of this paper is to present a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Chinese economy which includes rigid wage-setting and integration of real and financial sectors, and to apply it to a quantitative evaluation of the oil price changes and the fiscal and monetary policies. The policy simulation shows whether the wage rate is flexible or rigid is crucial for the evaluation of various policy measures. Furthermore, the fields of application of the model are extended from the industry-related problems to the macroscopic ones such as inflation, stabilization policies and so on.
