3. The unitary approach believe in unity and bringing together efforts of the individual for team work and common objective. This theory believe that conflict are non permanent malformation, which are a result of improper management in the organisation. It also considered the organisational conflicts resulting in strikes to be useless and destructive. Unitary approach

4. To create a productive , effective and harmonious working environment. To Develop a trustworthy, open, fair and transparent work culture. To Restrict the role of the tribunal and other government associations like the trade union and initiates direct negotiating between the management and the employees. Objectives of unitary approach

5. This approach assumes that the organisation is composed of individuals who form distinct group with their own set of aims, objectives, leadership styles, and value propositions. In contrast to unitary approach, the pluralist approach considers conflict between management and employees as rational and inevitable. Pluralist approach

6. Trade union as legitimate representatives of employees interest and they must be recognised. Stability in industrial relations is the product of compromises between management and unions. Collective bargaining is the best method for resolving all kinds of dispute. Management authority is not easily accepted and employees join trade unions to protect themselves. Pluralist approach ideology

7. Marxist like pluralist, regard conflict between employers and employees as inevitable. However, pluralists believe that the conflict is inevitable in all organisation. Marxist see it as a product of the capitalist society. The Marxist approach, thus, focuses on the type of society in which an organisation functions. Trade union can be seen as labour reaction to the exploitation by the management. Marxist approach

8. Trade union act as mean of social change. They work to improve the working condition of the workers. In this approach, all strikes are political. Marxist regarded state intervention via legislation and the creation of industrial tribunal as supporting management’s interest rather than ensuring a balance between the competing groups. Marxist approach ideology
