CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Employees play the most significant role in every organization when it comes to attaining success and enhancing productivity. They constitute the important part in helping the organization to obtain a greater productive capacity. Conceptually, the term “employee relations" refers to the interactions, dynamics, and overall relationships between employees in an organization and between employees and the organization's management. It encompasses various aspects such as communication, teamwork, conflict resolution, and the general atmosphere in the workplace( Olaolu, 2019). However, employee relations is considered as a tool for developing and improving organizational performance in the institution. According to James (2016), it is the quality of the employee‟s workplace relationship that most impacts on the level of employee‟s motivation and subsequent performance. How well employees engage with the organization, especially with their immediate environment that are in most cases their colleagues, influences to a great extent their error rate, level of innovation and collaboration with other employees, absenteeism and, ultimately, how long they stay in the job.
Similarly, employee relations offers assistance in a variety of ways including employee recognition, policy development and interpretation, and all types of problem solving and dispute resolution. It involves handling the pay–work bargain, dealing with employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, issues arising from employment, providing employees with a voice and communicating with employees (Frank & Jeffrey, 2010). However, organizations cannot perform better and achieve its objectives if there is a bad relationship between employees and employer, therefore it is very important for managers to create and maintain good relationship with their employees. Effective employee and management relationship is vital to the workplace whether at the time of recruitment, during an employees’ tenure or at the time of separation (Rose, 2018).
Further more, every organization needs good relationships between employers and employees because they motivate workers to perform better and deliver more results(Burns, 2017). Also, the application of human relations in managing human resource is critical in today’s business competitive environment (Christen, Iyer & Sober man, 2016). Factors such as job satisfaction are achieved when there is a great working relationship between labour and management (Boyle, 2016). Although, organizations can have competent, qualified and motivated employees but if there is no peace and harmony at the workplace their performance will be in danger. However, creating a positive and supportive work environment can result in better performance, increased job satisfaction, and various other positive outcomes that ultimately benefit both the employees and the organization as a whole. Effective employee relations are crucial for a harmonious and productive work environment. Therefore, a survey will be conducted in order to investigate the influence of employee relations on employee performance in an organization.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Employee relations is a broad term that incorporates many issues from collective bargaining, negotiations, employment legislation to more recent considerations such as work-life balance, equal opportunities and managing diversity (Armstrong & Stephens, 2016). It comprises the practice or initiatives for ensuring that Employees are happy and are productive.
Despite the fact that employee relations is one of the pillars and crucial functions of human resource management which leads to effective employee performance and organizational performance. Some organization in Nigeria seems to throw employee relations behind them by not giving it special attention and priority, as a result, they are still struggling to establish and maintain effective employee relation. However, this has cause unnecessary disputes in these organizations which in turn affected their performance. Poor relations between the employer and employees among organizations operating in the globally and locally markets has become the challenge (Kaliski, 2017).It is in the light of these that the study seeks to examine the influence of employee relations on employee performance in an organization.
