Understanding Industrial Relations: How Do Employers and Employees Navigate Control and Cooperation?

• Employer-Employees Relations also called Industrial Relations with a view to differentiate between employer-employee relations within the Group and these relations when they take the shape of relations between two Groups – Management and Employees.
• As we discuss relations which the employees have as a Group, we call these relations as INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS.
• These relations have been viewed differently by different authors.
• Lets have look at some of these
First: Industrial Relations is a Rule Making Process.
Second: Industrial Relations is the Process of Interaction among Institutions of
Job Regulation.
Third: Industrial Relations is a Process of struggle for Control over Work Structures
and Work Processes.
• INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS (EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEES) MAY BE VIEWED AS THE DYNAMICS OF CONTRADICTION BETWEEN EMPLOYERS AND EMPLOYEES AND THE STRUGGLE FOR CONTROL OVER WORK STRUCTURES, PROCESSES AND RELATIONS IN WHICH REGULATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS ARE SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS.

Hi,

I thought Employee Relations is different from Industrial Relations. Employee Relations focus on individual employees, emphasizing disciplining them through counseling, punitive actions, and training. On the other hand, Industrial Relations aim at collective bargaining and disciplining through negotiations, with a focus on the union.

Agreed with the comments of SIVA. However, I also appreciate the efforts made by the sender as after this, the criticism has taken place.

I also agree with Siva. However, I would like to know the difference between human resource management and human potential management. It all sounds the same to me, but my teacher said that they do differentiate. I still couldn't figure out what the difference is.

Hi, I have to make a thesis on Industrial Relations. My topic is "Industrial Relations - Past, Present, and Future." I want to include 2 case laws or case studies, so please help me by sending anything related to industrial relations.

Understanding Industrial Relations

Industrial relations are the bonds found between one person and another person in the industry. The other person can be:

- At the same level (peer group)
- From a lower to a higher level (with superiors)
- From a higher to a lower level (with subordinates)
- One department with another department
- Top management with floor-level management
- One team with another team

Based on this, we can conclude that any relation of anyone with anyone in any organization can be considered industrial relations.
