restricted my study only to Topic "The HR Executive", so that particular topic could be
well learned. Actually it was impossible to learn each and everything under the section
within the span of 21 days only.
A.7 Rationale of the study:
The Project had done on Industrial Relation System gives the live experience of the
various aspects of the management which are helpful for the future point of View.
The study gives the opportunity to understand the difference between the theoretical
and the practical knowledge of the subject.

1.1 Analysis of the Data:
Definition Joint-committee comprising of employers, workers, and often union representatives
Their purpose is to suggest and monitor the implementation of improvements in efficiency and
working conditions, and to iron out minor problems if the proposed changes, however, are
mandatory subjects of collective bargaining. they must be formally negotiated
Labour Management Meaning

agencies and government departments such as chambers of commerce. Factory and mines
inspectorate Social insurance directorate and department of human resource development and
education are involved in it In some countries. The organizations of employers and workers are
also involved in the management of labour matters. But it is primarily the responsibility of the
department of lab our to lay down, develop and apply sound labour policies, co-ordinate various
recommendations received from various department which have a bearing on labour affairs.
Formulation of policy decisions are based on consultation with other interests (particularly of
employers and workers organizations and of research and field investigation)

Industrial relations is a multidisciplinary field that studies the employ relationship. Industrial
relations is increasingly being called employ relations because of the importance of non-industrial
employment relations Many outsiders also equale industrial relations to labour relations and be
that industrial relations only studies unionized employment situations, bu is an oversimplification.

1) overview
Industrial relations has three faces: science building, problem solving and ethical. In the
science building face, industrial relations is part of the social sciences, and it seeks to understand
the employment relationship and its institutions through high-quality, rigorous research in this
vein, industrial relations scholarship intersects with scholarship in labor economics, industrial
sociology, labor and social history, human resource management political science, law, and other
areas. In the problem solving face, industrial relations seeks to design policies and institutions to
belp the employment relationship work better. In the ethical face industrial relations contains
stroag nomnative principles about workers and the employment relationship, especially the
rejection of treating labor as a commodity in favor of seeing workers as human beings in
democratic communities entitled to human rights. The term human relations refer to the whole
field of relationship that exists because of the necessary collaboration of men and women in the
employment process o modem industry. It is that part of management which is concemed with
the management of enterprise -whether machine operator, skilled worker or manager. It deals
with either the relationship between the state and employers and workers organisation or the
relation between the occupational organisatioo themselves
Industrial relations scholarship assumes that labor markets are not perfectly competitive
and thus, in contrast to mainstream economic theory, employers typically have greater bargaining
power than Labours. Industrial relations scholarship also assumes that there are at least some
inherent connicts of interest between employers and Labours (for example, higher wages versus
higher profits) and thus, in contrast to scholarship in buman resayurce management and
organizational behavior, conflict is seen as a natural part of the employment relationship.
Industrial relations scholars therefore frequently study the diverse institutional arrangements that
characterize and shape the employment relationship from norms and power structures on the
shop floor, to Labour voice mechanisms in the workplace, to collective bargaining arrangements
at a company, regional, or national level, to various levels of public policy and labor law regimes,
to "varieties of capitalism" (such as corporatism), social democracy, and neoliberalism
2) History
Industrial relations have its roots in the industrial revolution which created the modem
employment relationship by spawning free labor markets and large- scale industrial organizations
with thousands of wage workers As society wrestled with these massive economic and social
changes, labor problems arose. Low wages, long working hours, monotonous and dangerous
work, and abusive supervisory practices led to high Labour turnover, violent strikes, and the threat
of social instability. Intellectually, industrial relations was formed at the end of the 19th century as
a middle ground between classical economics and Marxism, with Sidney Webb and Beatrice
Webb's Industrial Democracy (897) being th key intellectual work Industrial relations thus rejected
the classical econ.
Institutionally, industrial relations was founded by John R Commons when he created the first
academic industrial relations program at the University of Wisconsin in 1920. Early financial
support for the field came from John D Rockefeller, Jr. who supported progressive labor-
management relations in the aftermath of the bloody strike al a Rockefeller-owned coal mine in
Colorado. In Britain, another progressive industrialist, Montague Burton, endowed chairs in
industrial relations at Leeds, Cardiff and Cambridge in 1930, and the discipline was formalized in
the 1950s with the formation of the Oxford School by Allan Flanders and Hugh Clegg Industrial
relations was formed with a strong problem-solving orientation that rejected both the classical
economists' laissez faire solutions to labor problems and the Marxist solution of class revolution.
It is this approach that underlies the New Deal legislation in the United States, such as the
National Labor Relations Act and the fair labour standard acts.
3) Theoretical perspectives
3.3 Radical perspective:- This view of industrial relations looks at the nature of the
capitalist society. where there is a fundamental division of interest between capital and
labour, and sees workplace relations against this history. This perspective sees
inequalities of power and economic wealth as having their roots in the nature of the
capitalist economic system. Conflict is therefore seen as inevitable and trade unions are
a natural response of workers to their exploitation by capital.
4.) Industrial Relations Today The term Industrial Relations comprises of two terms:
Industry' and Relations'. "Industry refers to "any productive activity in which an individual
(or a group of individuals) is (are) engaged". By "relations" we mean the relationship
that exist within the industry between the employer and his workmen.
The relationships which arise at and out of the workplace generally include the
relationships between individual workers, the relationships between workers and their
employer, the relationships between employers, the relationships employers and
workers have with the organizations formed to promote their respective interests, and
the relations between those organizations, at all levels. industrial relations also includes
the processes through which these relationships are expressed (such as, collective
bargaining, workers' participation in decision- making, and grievance and dispute
settlement), and the management of conflict between employers, workers and trade
unions, when it arises

means the standard of performance fixed should be within the abilities of an average
worker.
8) Resemblances in particular locality The system should keep in view the wage rate in the same
area or industry. The method selected by and organization should be as far as possible in line
with that of its competitors. It should not in no way be entirely different from that of industry of
locality.
9) Minimum Cost: The cost in terms of money, clerical labour and time should be minimum in
deciding any wage system.
10) Quality should not be affected: The wage system should be such as Beter wages for better
quality". Otherwise in order to earn more and more wages, the workers may produce inferior
quality goods.
11) Worker's morale: the system should be such which should boost the morale of the workers
and should minimize labor turnover absenteeism and late attendance.
12) Equal wages for equal work: The system should be such that the workers with equal efficiency
get equal wages, otherwise there will be dissatisfaction among the workers.
13) Permanent wage system: It should not be changed frequently otherwise the workers will not
trust the system.
