An employment relationship describes the dynamic, interlocking economic, legal, social and psychological relations that exist between individuals and their work organizations. Palgrave Macmillan (2013), Glossary [online] Available at: < http://www.palgrave.com/business/brattonandgold/glossary/glossary.htm> [Accessed 17th September 2013]. Factors that impact on this relationship both have a detrimental effect to the running of a business. I will focus on two internal and two external. These being:
Internal - Collective Bargaining:
Collective bargaining is a process of negotiations between employers and a group of employees aimed at reaching agreements that regulate working conditions. The interests of the employees are commonly presented by representatives of a trade union to which the employees belong. The collective agreements reached by these negotiations usually set out wage scales, working hours, training, health and safety, overtime, grievance mechanisms, and rights to participate in workplace or company affairs. If collective bargaining breaks down it can lead to strikes, low attendance and low productivity rates.
Internal - Management Styles:
Management styles are as diverse as the personalities of the people who practice them, and the companies who employ these managers. Although it is generally not a good idea to be too strict or too lax, the success of a range of management styles will ultimately depend on the manager's overall rapport with his employees as well as whether his style is compatible with the culture of the company. Bad management styles can deliver an increase in work pressure; lack of motivation, bad communication and conflict within the working environment where as adopting a good style can increase productivity, increase motivation and give staff drive.
External - Competition in Industry:
The degree of competitiveness in an industry can impact the ethics of both management and employees, especially in situations where
