CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The relationship between the workers and the management of all formal organization has been adjudged crucial to the effective performance of organizational productivity.
This is because; it is generally acknowledged that both groups form the human resource element in the organization. An element which is quite unique in any organization. This fact becomes all the mores obvious if cognizance in taken that of all inputs into the production process of all enterprises, the human element in the most crucial because, it is the only element that has its own power and sincerely it performs the function of controlling and coordinating the other element in the desired quality in a way and manner that will aid the production process.
More so, this human element in organization is divided between two broad groups, (that is the management group and the workers). Some scholars such as Ademelekan (1998) have identified a third group which they termed the “middle level or supervisory groups”. But, for the purpose of this research this group is not acceptable because they are transmittery in nature.
The first groups consist of managers. These are those bodies of men known as the management who are in charge of organizing, controlling, directing, planning and decision making in an organization. It is this group that performs the function of coordinating all factors into production process so that goods and services that satisfy human needs and wants can be achieved while, the overall goals and objective of the organization can equally be achieved.
The second groups consist of the workers whose job is to perform whatever function they may be directed by the management from time to time. They constitute in any organization more than (80%) of the total workforce of the organization. These bodies of man are largely unskilled and semi-skilled as oppose to those in the management cadre who are largely skilled. Inspire of this, the workers constitute the hub of which all activities involving the human element revolves, they take instructions, they reports back to management for the directives.
The workers and management of an organization are expected to work hand in hand in a mutually benefiting relationship that will serve to help the organization to effectively and efficiently achieve its goals and objectives.
This worker and management relationship have been recognized as being “dynamic and third in nature” (Mc-Growth T.E., Attman, M. 1966). It is recognized as being dynamic and fluid in nature because of often alternatives between hostile and frosty conditions, and friendly and warm condition. Whole this relationship is hostile it could affect organizational productivity negatively and whole warm it could also bring about positive impact on organizational productivity.
In apparent recognition of this most scholars have over the years devoted their time, energy and resources to study hour the relationship between the workers and management enhance productivity of the organization as a whole.
Koonts Odenne and Welch Warrish H (1989) for instance has asserted that, the key to understanding organizational productivity in the study of workers- management relationship” such studies so far have not come up with satisfactory reposes suitable and amenable to empirical universalism.
Equally not fort coming is a finding that will explain the Nigerian circumstances which is finding that will frequent clashes between workers and management. Indeed the frequent strikes, work to rule actions and other forms of individual’s dispute between worker and management have been a source of concern. The service and hospitality industry in particular, is vital to the socio-economic well being of any nation. This is because it is usually the first point to call by any visitor to any new town or city. Consequently, industrial harmony in the total industry must be maintained at all cost for the economic growth of any nation. Although operations of the hospitality sector (i.e. the hotels) have if late been hit by the harsh economic realities of on time, and this has led to increase agitation for better deed by the workers from the management of this respective out forts with time, if this is not curbed, pressure may emanate. Consequently, the need to study the workers management relationship has now assumed a mine urgent dimension than ever because this would provide a more acceptable understanding of the situation so that overall productivity of the hospitality sector can be improved upon.
