TOPIC OF ST/0.
comprehensive study of WORKERS PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT
at *hetri Copper Complex8 *hetri .agar8 Rajasthan8 a unit of Hindustan Copper %imited8
$overnment of )ndia Enterprise.
+ATIONAL BE1IN0 T1E ST/0.
,e ta'e many decisions in our day"to"day life in consultation with the members
of our family. &or example " Education of children8 ,edding of daughter8 +election of a
career of our children. t all such occasions we consult each other for better results.
,e celebrate various social and religious functions. &or the success of these
functions se start consultation well in advance and the joint decision and implement them
with the co"operation of the other people.
,e re9uire this type of participation between labour and management8 because
the main objective of our economic planning is to increase production and productivity.
:y offering wor'ers8 a common platform to participate decision ma'ing process
of management"wor'ers for self expression and association are satisfied and they start
wor'ing with natural understanding towards optimising productivity8 efficiency and
maintaining industrial peace.
-ainly in the !ublic +ection where the "or2ers Partiipation in #ana$ement
is largely being practice since year together8 and expected results have reflected to some
extent in the form of improved production8 productivity and better industrial relations.
+till the desired results of ,or'ers !articipation in -anagement are li'e dream8 in view
of the fact that the common labour force as well as the lower and middle level manager
are really left apart in the process as a result8 now and then mistrust8 disputes8 agitations8
heated arguments at wor' place.
.ow in the above complex wor' environment of high concern8 a fresh loo' is
needed so that employees contribute in the real sense to achieve the organisational goals.
;nhealthy wor' situations become matter of great concern to the top management8 which
is completed to organise its entire management team to encounter the undue pressure8 in
order to defuse the tense situation and restore8 maintain normal wor'ing condition.
:ecause this often leads low productions8 productivity8 high production cost8 waste of
material and adverse effect on healthy organisation and their employees.
Therefore8 in order to get the best out of wor'man in achieving the organisation
goals8 it is essential that "O+3E+S PA+TICIPATIONS IN #ANA4E#ENT is in
the real sense of the term is induced.
OB5ECTI6E OF ST/0.
)t is necessary to have some objectives and goals to carry out a project. The
objective and goals give direction to the future plans and activities to be conducted during
the project. Objective behind the study of the wor'ing of "O+3E+S
PA+TICIPATION IN #ANAT4E#ENT at *hetri Copper Complex are as follows <
#. The main objective is to have indepth 'nowledge of the ,.!.-. +cheme
wor'ing in the organisation.
(. To study the different participative forum existing at *.C.C.
2. To study the various areas of activities where the scheme has been
implemented.
3. To study whether proper home wor' before the schedule dates of meeting
being done by the participative teams to have the meaningful discussion.
4. To study whether the wor'ers= team actually contributes meaningfully to
achieve the common goal of the organisation or it is their to simply show
their influence.
>. To study whether the discussion centre round !roduction0
!roductivity0+afety0,elfare0Creative ideas to solve the problems.
?. To study whether in the discussion each party has e9ual weightage in
giving suggestion0recommendation.
@. To study whether decision are ta'en unanimously or not.
A. To study whether decision are implemented well in time.
#B. To study whether ,!- results in understanding each other view point8
helps in ma'ing a better wor' atmosphere improves human relation and to
maintain industrial peace and harmony.
E7PECTE0 CONT+IB/TION
,ith this critical study of ,or'ers !articipation in -anagement at *hetri Copper
Complex8 it is expected that some new thoughts8 ideas8 better ways of participation will
emerge out for improved wor'ing of these forums which will ultimately help in
maintaining harmonious industrial relations and effective human resosurce development
system for enhancing the labour productivity. The study can also help in <
#. Creation of an atmosphere of mutual trust and confidence between management
and wor'er.
(. Eliminating areas of suspicion between the management and labour.
2. )dentifying the areas where scope of improvement is needed.
3. *nowing whether participative forums are contributing positively towards
organisational goal or simply doing formalities.
4. &ixing the nnual Targets of production in consultation with the ;nion.
+ESEA+C1 #ET1O0OLO4.
Research methodology comprises defining and re"defining problems formulating
hypothesis or suggesting solutions8 collecting8 organising and evaluating date8 ma'ing
deduction and reaching conclusion and atlast carefully testing the conclusion to
determine the hypotheses. Research is an original contribution to the existing stoc' of
'nowledge ma'ing for its advancement. )n short the search for 'nowledge through
objective and systematic method of finding solution to a problem is research.
+EASEA+C1 P+OCESS
!roject conducted at *hetri Copper Complex involves following techni9ues of
research to attain the objectives as stated above
#. Compre!ensi'e study of the agenda items of meetings the notification8 actual
attendance of the participants.
(. Critial Analysis of the decision in the meeting and its mode of implementation.
2. Field Inter'ie( with the Committee -embers8 Higher -anagement8 -iddle
-anagement team and common employees who have virtually little scope of
participation in the system.
3. "ritten 8uestionnaire method where a definite answer is sought.
4. )mpart of these scheme on production8 productivity8 welfare8 accident8 wor'
stoppage8 stri'e loc'outs8 improvement in wor' culture8 discipline awareness etc.
INT+O0/CTION TO ST/0.
,ithin the last three decades in the realm of human resource management the
techni9ue of the wor'ers= participation in management has been regarded as a powerful
behavioral tool for managing the industrial relations system.
!articipative -anagement represents industrial democracy in action and wor'ers
and management should both be re"educated to play their roles as partners in the process
of production and put industrial democracy to wor' effectively.
WHAT IS WORKERS' PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT
The term participative management and wor'ers= participation in management are
the same. )t is composed of two words <
CaD !articipation
CbD -anagement
CaD Partiipation < The participation is one=s own mental and emotional involvement
in decision ma'ing process for achieving organisation goals and share
responsibility. The three important aspects of participation are <
#. person=s self is involve rather than his s'ills.
(. )t motivates persons to contribute their own resources of initiative and
creativity towards the objective of the organisation.
2. )t also encourages people to accept responsibility in their group activity.
CbD #ana$ement < )t means the manage the affairs of the organisation in systematic
way. )t involves loo'ing after day to day wor'8 deciding policy matter and
implementing the policy decision.
:efore the industrial revolution the ownership of the underta'ing was with a
single person and he himself was doing the function of manager8 when his unit was small.
:ut in course of time8 the underta'ing became bigger and mechanised and produced on
large scale thereby expanding its activities considerable. One person could not attend to
all aspects of production. $rdually8 the functions of managing the underta'ing were
separated and s'illed and expert manager were appointed for this job.
The concept of ,or'ers= !articipation in -anagement has changed from time to
time and country to country.
,or'ers= !articipation in -anagement means the wor'ers are given a chance to
share the functions of the management in achieving the organisational goals of the
underta'ing.
ccording to 3eit! 0a'is ,!- refers to the mental and emotional involvement
of a person in a group situation which encourages him to contribute to group goals and
share the responsibility of achieving them.
OB5ECTI6E OF "O+3E+S9 PA+TICIPATION IN #ANA4E#ENT
There are three main objectives of wor'ers= participation in management. They
are <
#. Or$anisational < The scheme of wor'ers participations enhance economic
efficiency of the enterprise on account of the following reasons <
a. ,or'ers can contributes ideas which can be useful to -anagement.
b. ;pward communication is essential for proper decision ma'ing at the top.
c. ,or'er will accept decisions and wor' better if they participate in them.
d. )t will contribute to industrial peace by fostering more co"operation among
wor'ers and management and thus raise efficiency.
(. Psy!olo$ial < )t gives full recognition to the human element inindustry and
generates a greater interest in the operation of the underta'ing. sense of
belonging is developed8 which in turn8 results in higher efficiency.
2. Soial < The concept of participation produces e9ual status between wor'ers and
management through sharing of decision ma'ing process which ma'es the
wor'ers productive8 creative and efficient. )t also recognises the dignity of man
as man and also satisfies his urge for self expression and ma'es our democracy
functional.
FO+/#S OF "O+3E+S9 PA+TICIPATION IN #ANA4E#ENT
There are number of methods which are part and parcel of participative
management. +ome of them are <
#. Su$$estion S!eme < ;nder this system8 wor'ers are invited and encouraged to
offer suggestions for improving the wor'ing of the enterprise. suggestion box
is installed. ny wor'er can write his suggestions and put it into the box.
!eriodically all the suggestions are scrutinised by the +uggestion Committee.
$ood suggestions are accepted for implementation and suitable rewards are given
to the concerned wor'ers.
(. "or2s Committee < ;nder the )ndustrial /isputes ct8 #A3?8 every
establishment employing hundred or more wor'ers is re9uired to constitute wor's
committee. +uch a committee consists of e9ual number of representative of
employer and wor'er. The main purpose of wor's committee is to prove
measures for securing and preserving amity and good relations between the
employer and the employees.
2. 5oint #ana$ement Counils < These councils consists of e9ual number of
representative of employers and wor'ers. The councils discuss various matters
concerning wor'ing of industry. The decisions of these councils are advisory in
nature. ,or'ing conditions8 accident prevention8 indiscipline8 absenteeism and
training are generally the matters brought before 1oint -anagement Councils.
,hile wor's committee are formed at shop floor level. 1oint management
councils are instituted at plant level.
3. "or2er 0iretors < ;nder this method8 one or two representatives of wor'ers are
nominated or elected on the :oard of /irectors. This is full fledged and highest
forum of wor'ers participation in management. )n )ndia /.C.-. and few other
companies provide representation to wor'ers on their :oard of /irector.
4. Co:partners!ip < )n this method8 wor'ers are made shareholders in the company
in which they are employed. s partners8 they ta'e part in :oard of /irectors.
They also share the company=s profit in the form of dividend. This generated a a
feeling of responsibility to the enterprise among the wor'ers.
>. Auto:#ana$ement < This scheme of ,or'ers= !articipation in -anagement is
called =uto"-anagement= or =+elf"-anagement= in 7ugoslavia. ,or'ers manage
all aspects of industries through their representatives. Here the wor'ers
themselves constitute the management and there is no 9uestion of consultation or
sharing of powers with representatives of private capital. ll underta'ings are
treated as national property and are managed by the ,or'ers= Councils and
-anagement :oards.
LE6EL OF "O+3E+S PA+TICIPATION IN #ANA4E#ENT
There are four levels of participation of wor'ers in the management of industry.
They are as follows <
#. Information Partiipation < )t refers to information sharing by the wor'ers
condition of the plant etc. Here the wor'ers have a right of close scrutiny of
information provided so that they can have an idea of what is going on in the
organisation.
(. Consultati'e Partiipation < Here the wor'ers are consulted so such matter as
welfare programmes8 methods of wor' and safety. However8 the final decision is
that of management. The wor'ers awareness and involvement have to be positive
and direct.
2. Assoiate Partiipation < Here the wor' men=s role is not purely advisory unli'e
consultative participation. The management has to accept and implement the
unanimous decision ta'en jointly. This creates climate of partnership.
3. 0eision Partiipation < /ecision is ta'en jointly in all matter of wor' relative
issues or interest related issues. This leads to oneness and total involvement.
Thereby helps in achieving organisational goals.

1istory:
PA+TICIPATI6E #ANA4E#ENT IN IN0IA
The origin of the idea of "or2ers9 Partiipation in #ana$ement in )ndia can
be traced to the report of the Royal Commission of %abour C#A2#D8 which recommended
the setting up of joint consultative bodies.
fter the war8 the )ndustrial Employment C+tanding OrdersD ct8 #A3> and the
)ndustrial /isputes ct8 #A3?8 formally placed the idea of wor'ers participations on the
statute boo's in the form of ,or's Committee.
The acceptance of a G+ocialistic !attern of +ocietyG as the overall goal of planning
in #A43 stressed the need and importance of ,or'ers= !articipation.
The )ndustrial !olicy Resolution C#A4>D also asserted the importance of 1oint
Consultation between wor'ers and management. The government of )ndia sent a +tudy
Team for studying the experiences of different schemes of ,or'ers= !articipation in
-anagement in European countries. On the recommendation of the +tudy Team8 the
$overnment introduced a scheme of 1oint -anagement Council in our country in #A4@.
)n #A?B8 the $overnment of )ndia introduced another scheme of ,!- in ban'ing
industry. The .ationalised :an' appointed one director from among the wor'ers and this
scheme extended to selected public sector underta'ing on voluntary basis.
new scheme of +hop Council and 1oint Council was announced by the
$overnment of )ndia on October 2B8 #A?4. )t was extended to commercial and service
organisations in public sector in 1anuary8 #A??.

CONCL/SION
fter conducting a comprehensive study on WORKERS' PARTICIPATION IN
MANAGEMENT at *hetri Copper Complex8 ) have come to the following conclusion <
#. )ndustrial Relation at *hetri Copper Complex between #A?( F #A?@ were bad
and tense which ultimately erupted into a general stri'e. However8 since last (B
years management and labour relation are by and large harmonious with
occurrence of any major stri'e or shut"down.
(. part from )R side there has been a gradual improvement in production8
productivity8 welfare measure8 safety and other related areas.
2. )t is apparent from the study that the success of ,.!.-. at *.C.C. is largely from
the fact that this public sector company introduced the schemes in response to its
felt need rather than only out of any ministerial compulsion.
3. Reflecting a true sense of participation8 union representatives have submitted to
the proposal for economy in expenditure8 scrap utilisation8 energy conservation8
timely procurement of materials etc.
4. part from the matters other areas li'e pertaining to safety8 welfare8 recruitment8
environment and other allied issues have been discussed with the aim of sharing
information and joint decision.
>. There is a general feeling among all that G,or'ers= !articipation in -anagementG
has contributed to the organisation and has given imputes.
?. The implementation of the decision ta'en in the various participative forums is
left on the part of the management alone and at times the decision is not been
implemented in the right time and right spirit.
@. There is a need to develop appropriate participative s'ills both for the managers
and wor'ers for this some experts and consultant should be obtained to share the
experience of the other industry.
A. ,or'ers initiative at some levels is not recognised and encouraged.
#B. Trade union rivalry between recognised trade union and registered trade union
exist.
##. /ecision in 1oint Council and +hop Councils meetings are arrived through
negotiation and persuation.
S/44ESTION
fter having gone through different aspects and operation of the scheme at *CC8
) reach with my opinion through these following points are given some attention this
scheme of ,.!.-. at *.C.C. <
#. Registered Trade ;nion alongwith recognised Trade ;nion should have some
way of representation in the participative forums and thereby the scheme may run
in better way.
(. To develop appropriate participative s'ills e.g. leadership8 inter"personnel
relationship8 problem identification and analysis regular training should be
provided to the wor'ers as well as the managers.
2. The domination of pressure groups which is for vested interests should be
minimised.
3. -is"conception about participation is a treat to power and authority should be
removed from a section of managers.
4. Help of some expert or consultant should be obtained to sharp experience of other
industries and explore possibilities of expanding it in other areas of management
functions.
>. /ecision ta'en in +hop Councils and 1oint Council should be implemented fully
to develop to trust of common wor'ers in wor'ing of the participative forums.
?. /ecision ta'en in various participative forums must be displayed on the notice
board of the company for information of the common employees8 so that they get
motivated and involved in the process of co"operation8 trust and confidence
building.
@. Responsibility of implementing decision ta'en in various participative forum
should be e9ually share by wor'ers representative also should not be left to the
management alone.
A. ,or'ers participative should be extended in other areas of policies and
programmes li'e planning8 diversification8 control8 inspection etc. to control
mistrust.
#B. +uggestion scheme which is already in operation should be made more familiar
attractive and useful to get more and more employees involved in the function of
management.
##. ll the points and minutes are coming from wor'men side8 why should
management not put any problems to the wor'men representatives.
#(. ll the trade unions irrespective of their rivalries8 idealogies and difference must
co"operate in their own way of giving suggestion and help in achieving
organisational goals.
#2. ,hile direct participation exist8 but they should be some forum created were
indirect participation is encouraged8 so that common wor'ers come and giveethier
ideas.
