 PDF |
ABSTRACT Insights are limited on connections between trade unions and industrial democracy in developing countries. It is on this basis; this study examines the link between trade unions and industrial democracy in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study was anchored on evolutionary theory. The study was survey research design with 400 as sample size selected from eight union organizations. Data collection was through questionnaire, and analysed with Pearson Chi-Square. H01 revealed that unions’ size has no significant relationship with employees’ representation participation. H02 indicated that unions 'power has no significant relationship with involvement in decision making. H03 showed that benefits derived by the union members has no significant relationship with participation in decision making. The study recommended embracement of collective bargaining as one of the manifestations of industrial democracy. Also, there should be balance of power between unions and management. Joint consultation and co-determination should be incorporated into the policy of work organizations to facilitate sense of oneness between management and labour unions in the workplace. |
