Question

What are the consequences of unfavourable attitude towards management? Discuss in detail.

Answer 1

An unfavourable attitude towards management can lead to several serious and negative outcomes within an organization.

• Direct and indirect grievences and strikes: Negative views among workers increase the likelihood of both direct and indirect grievances, which can lead to strikes and industrial disputes.
• Rate of sickness and absenteeism increases: Poor management relations cause dissatisfaction and stress, which leads to increased levels of illness and absenteeism.
• High labour turnover: Employees who are distant or dissatisfied with management are more likely to leave their employment, raising recruitment and training expenditures.
• Rate of accident increases: Negative attitudes frequently lead to carelessness, diminished focus, and poor cooperation, which increases the likelihood of an accident.
• Rate of production decreases: Dislike and doubt of management can lead to deliberate output restrictions, known as “rate cutting,” resulting in poorer productivity.
