No full textAnalysing the relationship between unions and joint consultation committee: case studies of Malaysian and Indonesian postal industries
No full textThere has been a considerable degree of interest in the notion of joint consultation committee (JCC). In this paper, we examine process of JCC in Malaysian and Indonesian postal industries. The research focused on the implementation of JCC as a form of employee participation, followed by an evaluation of the model that best explained the practices in the postal industries. Both analysis were based on the work of Marchington (19921994). Research findings indicate the adjunct model best explains the practices of JCC, whereas both JCC and collective bargaining (CB) have an integrative relationship for the beneficial of management and employees
The present scenario of Malaysian industrial relations : accommodating or conflictual
No full textMalaysian industrial relations (IR) were commented by both foreign and local researchers in the literature (Bahari, 1989, Arudsothy, 1990, Arudsothy and Littler, 1993, Jomo and Todd, 1994, Kuruvilla, 1996, Bhopal and Todd, 2000, Ramasamy, 2000, Todd and Peetz, 2001, Ayadurai, Yahaya and Zainuddin, 2002, Bhopal and Rowley, 2002, Suhanah, 2002, Mellahi and Wood, 2004, Parasuraman, 2004, Todd, Lansbury and Davis, 2004). Many of them commonly agreed that the role of the state on industrial relations policies is rather repressive to the union and favour employers. Therefore, in this paper the author will use Sharma’s (1996) theoretical model on the extent of industrialisation and patterns of IR (1996:26) to analyse the emerging pattern of IR in Malaysia. The paper argues that currently the pattern of IR in Malaysia is rather conflictual than concession accommodating even though Malaysia is already in the advanced level of a semi-industrialised country and is to be considered as newly industrialised country (NICs) such as Taiwan, Singapore, and Korea very soon. Regarding labour policies, it strikes that some labour laws that have their origin in colonial and the post-colonial governments are applied up to the present day. This paper is divided into four parts. In the first part the theoretical model of Sharma on the extent of industrialisation and the patterns of IR will be presented. Second, the economic development of Malaysia will be highlighted briefly. Third, the issues on economic development and IR policies in Malaysia are discussed. Fourth, Malaysian IR policies are examined on the basis of Sharma’s model, which was explained in Section One. The paper will conclude with the emerging pattern of IR in Malaysia
Communication and consultation in Malaysia: Impact of the 1975 Code of Conduct
Get PDFEmployee participation through communication and consultation was one of the intended outcomes of the Code of Conduct for Industrial Harmony 1975 in Malaysia (hereafter referred as the 'Code'). The Code is subdivided into sections on employment policy, training, payment policy, redundancy and retrenchment, collective bargaining and collective agreements, procedures for resolving disputes, procedures for disciplinary action, and communication and consultation. Since 1975 there has been no examination of whether or not the communication and consultation section of the Code has been effective in promoting employee participation in the Malaysian workplace. Government, employers and unions appear to be interpreting the Code in differing ways. This research investigates the issues pertaining to the Code and employee participation in Malaysia from the perspective of employers, union and the government

Qualitative case study research: a research project on employee participation in the Malaysian private sector
No full textEmployee participation is one of the important fields in industrial relations. Research on employee participation in Malaysia is usually conducted through large-scale surveys and quasi-experiments and only focuses on the public sector. Therefore, this research instead uses a qualitative case study approach in investigating employee participation practices in private sector companies in Malaysia. This paper discusses aspects of the methodology of case study research and qualitative data collection and the theory and arguments affecting the choice of research and data gathering strategy in this research. Concludes that carrying out qualitative case study research, in the author's experience, is first and foremost a matter of learning by doing
