TASK 1
1.1 Different perspectives to manage employees relationship and the balance of power between
the individual and management
For the better development of employees, company uses different types of perspectives
which are explained as follows:
Unitary perspective- In this, organization treats its staff members as their family and tries
to create a happy and comfortable environment into the company. The main objective behind this
approach is that all the workers work together and create a mutual understanding among all
(Leroyer, Edmé and Frimat, 2011). In this approach, workers participate in decision making, give
their ideas and views related to the topic and also emphasize on the team work. This perspective
also includes the staffing policies which are favourable for the employees. They provide
incentives and rewards to them for their better work. Thus, unitary perceptive is basically for the
worker’s development and to improve the quality of team work.
With the help of unitary perspective, company increases the employer and employees
interest towards work in order to increase the loyalty and trust among them (Detert and Treviño,
2010). It also emphasizes on decision making power of the team leader. With the applicability of
this perspective, company develops the relationship between all the workers and create a healthy
environment at the workplace.
Pluralistic perspective- In this perspective, company divides employees work into the
groups and every group have team leader who guides all the other team members (Bennett and
Kaufman, 2011). The main reason to apply this approach is to create a better relationship
