Document Summary

Understand why it is useful to analyse values when studying employment relations. Values in employment relations derived from the work of alan fox. The employment relationship as having the ever-present potential for conflict bc employers & employees sometimes have different interest; these conflict, however, are legitimate & can be accommodated by an appropriate network of procedural & substantive rules. The employment relationship as subject to enduring conflict in which the control exercised by employers over employees is illegitimate & can only end when major social change is achieved. Define and compare the three types of values: unitarism, pluralism and radicalism. The employment relationship as essentially harmonious, w/ employees and employers sharing common interests, embodied in organizational goals. Provide strong leadership to effectively define organizational goals. Ensure the commitment of employees to the job & to the larger organizational goals. To be loyal to the organization & its management in recognition of their common objectives.
