2.  There are mainly 3 types of approaches in IR
1. unitary approach
2. Pluristic approach
3. Marxist approach

3.  The unitary approach believe in unity and
bringing together efforts of the individual for
team work and common objective.
 This theory believe that conflict are non
permanent malformation, which are a result
of improper management in the organisation.
 It also considered the organisational conflicts
resulting in strikes to be useless and
destructive.

4.  To create a productive , effective and
harmonious working environment.
 To Develop a trustworthy, open, fair and
transparent work culture.
 To Restrict the role of the tribunal and other
government associations like the trade union
and initiates direct negotiating between the
management and the employees.

5.  This approach assumes that the organisation
is composed of individuals who form distinct
group with their own set of aims, objectives,
leadership styles, and value propositions.
 In contrast to unitary approach, the pluralist
approach considers conflict between
management and employees as rational and
inevitable.

6.  Trade union as legitimate representatives of
employees interest and they must be
recognised.
 Stability in industrial relations is the product
of compromises between management and
unions.
 Collective bargaining is the best method for
resolving all kinds of dispute.
 Management authority is not easily accepted
and employees join trade unions to protect
themselves.

7.  Marxist like pluralist, regard conflict between
employers and employees as inevitable.
 However, pluralists believe that the conflict is
inevitable in all organisation. Marxist see it as
a product of the capitalist society.
 The Marxist approach, thus, focuses on the
type of society in which an organisation
functions.
 Trade union can be seen as labour reaction to
the exploitation by the management.

8.  Trade union act as mean of social change.
They work to improve the working condition
of the workers.
 In this approach, all strikes are political.
 Marxist regarded state intervention via
legislation and the creation of industrial
tribunal as supporting management’s interest
rather than ensuring a balance between the
competing groups.
