Dunlopã¢Â‚¬Â„¢S Model & Tripartite Gum Model Used in Singapore
Topic: What is Dunlop’s model & Tripartite Gum model used in Singapore?
Dunlop’s Model
• An analytical framework for studying employment relations which comprises of three participants: o Government and its Agencies o Management and its Representatives o Workers and their Union
• This tripartite relation also depends on the environment which includes: o Technology advancement o Market condition (including budget constraints) o Distribution of power in society
• Outcome – the establishment of procedures and rules of workplace: o Network of rules
• All three are bound together by a shared ideology to make the system work, and a shared set of contexts, (market, technological, social, economic, and political).
• In the 1960’s, Singapore used the Dunlop model to achieve the common objective of the three participants which was to create more jobs and promote economic growth.
• Singapore knew that it was vital to maintain good and constant interaction among the three participants in order for the country to stay competitive in the world market.
Dunlop Extended Model
• In recent times, some additions were made to the original Dunlop framework by researchers.
• New components of the extended Dunlop’s model are: o The actors (including their goals, values, power and history) o The environment o The mechanism through which actors interact o The outcome of the interaction o Feedback (implication of the actors and for society)
Tripartite Gum Model
• The extended Dunlop’s model may be further modified to analyze employment relation. o Participant – the government, the management and the union o Mechanism – teamwork; collective bargaining; dispute settlement o Process – consultation; tipcarts o Outcome – industrial peace; investment growth; quality of work life; competitiveness; productivity; mutual trust; social justice
