INTRODUCTION
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.
As a contribution to this search the research “an analysis of worker management
relationship as it affects service provision a case study of Three (3) Star
Hotel Dutse” was chosen.
1.1BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Corporate social
responsibility is of no doubt be given an adequate attention by the food and
beverages companies in Nigeria for being the parameter that determines the
relationship between companies and their stakeholders. What is however in doubt
is the extent to which such corporate social responsibility is given and its
adequacy. The first books on CSR were published in the 1930’s with one of the
most influential being the “ social responsibilities of the businessman” by
howard .R. bowen in 1953 (Windell, 2006). In mid-1950s the late peter F.
Drucker, the most prominent and widely acknowledged management thinker of the
20th century and also the “father of modern management” has
recognized the social function of business. In his classic book, the practice

The area of the study covers Three
Star Hotel Dutse, it is expected to be the sole area concern for the
research. The sample area and the sample
population will be restricted to the case study in order to bring out the
worker-management relationship spirit more articulately.
Also the scope will be extended a
little further in extracting information from secondary sources which will
enhance to the best presentation of the study.
The limitation of this study will
border so much in the collection of data obviously collection of data for a
research of this nature could be hectic from the paint of the respondents,
especially distribution of questionnaire will be an easy task as doing will be
a boredom in the part of the author.
Sometimes the human body cannot resist hardship as running from part of
call to another may create fatigue which can be so imitating and therefore
become depressing of the body and soul.
Shouldering the financial cost of the project is another course of
concern to anybody undertaken a research of this nature that involves cost seen
and unforeseen. Reality without money a
scholarlistic project of this magnitude may not be accomplished.
