The impact of individual performance related pay on industrial relations
|
Individual Performance Related Pay (IPRP) has become increasingly popular in the
public as well as private sector. There have been moves to extend their coverage to
the lower reaches of the organisational hierarchy-clerical and administrative staff,
skilled and semi skilled manual workers from the narrow to higher managerial bands.
IPRP is being prescribed as a strategic tool used as a way of simulating or reinforcing
broader organisation transformation. For example IPRP has been mobilised to
simulate greater employee commitment, individualise the employment relationship,
revitalise the role and authority of the line manager, enhance staff management
communications, and weaken the influence of trade union's.
The aim of this study is to evaluate employee attitude towards their line /appraising
manager, Also managers prescribe towards trade union operating in partnership with
their organisation.
The focus of this work is on examining the influence of IPRP on industrial relations.
