Dunlop’s Approach

Made by: Aru Wadhawan


Roll No: 1821117011
M.Sc. In H.A. 2nd Year
INTRODUCTION
 Prof. John T. Dunlop of Harvard University
formulated the approach.
 An Industrial Relations System at any
one time in its development is regarded
as comprised of certain actors, certain
contexts, an ideology, which binds the
industrial relations system together, and a
body of rules created to govern the
actors at the workplace and work
community.
INTRODUCTION
 Dunlop identified as the basic components
of an Industrial Relations System:- three
groups of actors (managers, workers and
their respective representatives, and
government institutions dealing with
industrial relations), three different
environmental contexts (technologies,
markets, and power distribution), and an
ideology "that binds the Industrial Relations
System together”.
INTRODUCTION
 There are three sets of independent
variables: the ‘actors’, the ‘contexts’ and
the ‘ideology’ of the system.
Actors in the Industrial Relation
System
1) Employers: they possess certain rights
viz-a-viz labors. They have a right to hire
& fire them.

2) Employee: workers seek to improve


the terms and conditions of their
employment. They exchange views with
the management & voice their
grievances.

System

3) Government: the central and state


government influences & regulates
industrial relations through laws, rules,
agreements, awards of court & the like.
It also includes third parties, labor &
tribunal courts.

Ideology
 The ideology is a philosophy or a
systematized body of beliefs and
sentiments held by the actors.

 Dunlop posits an "ideology" that "binds"


an industrial relations system together,
binding them with a common set of
beliefs about society, human worth, and
government oversight.
Establishment of Rules
 The actors who set the rules may be:-
1) Workers and their unions representing

2) Employers, managers and their associations

3) Government consisting of civil servants


concerned with the administration of labour
matters.
Establishment of Rules
1) Rules governing compensation in all its
forms.
2) The duties and performance expected
from workers, including rules of
discipline for failure to achieve these
standards.
3) Rules defining the rights and duties of
workers.
