Trade unions have been a major and a strong component of the employment relations system in any country. However, the emergence and dominance of a market oriented economy following liberalization, privatization and globalization of economic activities compels employers to perform better to survive. The study examines the employment relations environment in the wake of a new crop of private sector nonunionized banks with state-of-the art technologies and more proactive HR practices in the post-liberalized era. The results suggest that the non-unionized bank employees perceived overall better employment relations over the unionized ones.

Abstract


Trade unions have been a major and a strong component of the employment relations system in any country. However, the emergence and dominance of a market oriented economy following liberalization, privatization and globalization of economic activities compels employers to perform better to survive. The study examines the employment relations environment in the wake of a new crop of private sector nonunionized banks with state-of-the art technologies and more proactive HR practices in the post-liberalized era. The results suggest that the non-unionized bank employees perceived overall better employment relations over the unionized ones.
