3.3 Methodology
primary data:
A set of questionnaire had been prepared to gather the information related to the subject
from the employees. Personal interview were conducted to get more information.
Information is also collected by observing the employees.
secondary data:
1. On production :
Low quality of production
Low quality of production and productivity
Increase in the wastage of material, spoilage/leakage of machinery.
Increase in the cost of production per unit.
2. On employees:
1. Observation:
A manager/ supervisor can usually track the behaviors of people working under him. If a
particular employee is not getting along with people, spoiling materials due to carelessness or
recklessness, showing indifference to commands, reporting late for work or is remaining
absent- the signals are fairly obvious. Since the supervisor is close to the scene of action, he
can always spot such unusual behaviors and report promptly.
2. GrievanceProcedure:
A systematic grievance procedure is best means to highlight employee dissatisfaction at
various levels. Management, to this end, must encourage employees to use it whenever they
have anything to say. In the absence of such a procedure, grievances pile up and erupt in
violent forms at a future date. By that time things might have taken an ugly shape, impairing
cordial relations between labour and management. If management fails to induce employees
to express their grievances, unions will take over and emerge as powerful bargaining
representatives.
3. Gripe boxes:
A gripe box may be kept at prominent locations in the factory for lodging anonymous
complaints pertaining to any aspect relating to work. Since the complainant need not reveal
his identity, he can express his feelings of injustice or discontent frankly and without any fear
of victimization.
4. Open door policy:
This is a kind of walk-in-meeting with the manager when the employee can express his
feelings openly about any work-related grievance. The Manager can cross-check the details
of the complaint through various means at his disposal.
