ABSTRACT
The research was an industrial conflict as an
impediment to personnel management (A case study of ANAMMCO Emene, Enugu ). The
objectives was meant to determine the extent to which industrial conflict at as
impediment to personnel management. Secondly, to look into the types of
industrial conflict, the effect of labour management conflict in ANAMMCO the
courses of industrial conflict and industrial conflict resolution techniques.
From result gathered,
industrial conflicts are classified as intra-industrial conflict, inter-group
conflict, line-staff conflict, role conflict , conflict of right and interest.
It was also revealed that the sources of these conflicts could be as a result
of differences in perception, and qualification, political causes, limited
resources, communication gap/barriers inter-dependent work activity , role
function and the issue of God-fathers
The finding also
indicate the effects of conflict as it diverts attention from organization
goal attainment and creates resentment and anxiety among organization
members which makes the organization unviable to function properly. It causes
efficiency and coordination which can erode and destroy the bases of team
work and cooperation among organization members and also a feeding of
alicuation, a loss of morale and other forms of discontent which can make
individual to with draw completely from organization.
The significance of
these findings were also indicated. In particular it has been urged that so
long as there is persistent and recurrent conflict in an organization,
efficient and effective personnel management and also organizational goal
attainment will be unrealistic and suggest the need for policies designed
to accommodate labour and management views.
A number of measures
were perceived as capable of solving this problems posed. It was suggested that
management should endeavour to have discussions regularly with its workers as
this enables them know and understand workers problems and how they feel about
their job and work conditions.
It was also suggested
that boxes be situated where employees/workers can find then and lodge their
complaints. Such boxes should be opened regularly and complaints so lodged
treated accordingly.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
For the purpose of
clarity and understanding it is pertinent that the introductory part of this
project, approach the topic by giving definitions of the subject of the project
work.
Roder and Rogers (1973)
defined the term organization or industrial activities as a stable system of
individuals who work together to achieve through a hierarchy of ranks and
division of labour for a common goal, while on the other hand Gray (1980)
defined conflict as a behaviour by one person or group of persons that is
purposely designed to inhibit the attainment of goal by another person or a
group of persons deliberately interfere with the aim of denying the other, goal
achievement.
However, one should be
careful not to fuse conflict with competition as it has often been the case. By
definition the two are viewed differently. Although conflict between person can
be through of a naturally occurring event, it can be a destructive force.
For instance, conflict between a superior and subordinate can lead to one or
both parties having their feedings hurt; the subordinate quitting his or her
job or some how attempting to sabotage the flow of work of the superior as a
retaliation.
This sabotage of the
work effort could be very costly to the organization as it could deny the
organization its major goal of profit making; as the major goal or objective of
any profit oriented business is to make and maximize profit.
A company, personnel
management record and activities will be at it best if labour and management
co-exist in understanding by being reasonable to each others demands through
such management styles as middle of the road management and team or
democratic management. These tow styles preach high concern for both
product for which management is more concerned about and employee morale and
satisfaction. They try to develop cohesive, committed work groups so that both
high production and high satisfaction manifest as wanted or planned.
Several authors have
also sated the need for industries or business entities to ensure good
management styles like the one stated above I their various activities.
But some are only driven to if by circumstances like conflict which is a
cost to the industry in the form of human and material resources.
Therefore, industrial
conflict as an impediment to personnel management is a hindrance or obstruction
towards the attainment of organizational goals. For this conflict whether
inter-group, intra-group, inter departmental line-staff and role conflict or in
whatever form weakens the very basic of an organization existence, for no
organization can really its customers for t long if its merged in conflict.
But conflict between
individual and groups is a universal phenomena and a better understanding
of its importance and cost with help managers to industry objectives.
With this understanding,
employees are motivated confident and have a sense of belonging as they
themselves s part of the industry. Also an inner sense of place and fulfillment
will be activated and this will be reflected in workers performance.
But failure to be
concerned about conflict is very costly as it undermines the work effort of
management and employees and that of inter personal relationship.
1.2
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
It has been established
that conflict has been with man since beginning of marking and has no doubt a
negative impact on the administration of personnel policies and programme.
The existence of
conflict in an industry normally hinders the said industry from achieving its
set objectives which ever way one may hoot at it, either from the point of the
employee or employer, it is assumed that conflict is an unhealthy development
towards the attainment of industrial goal. The case of ANAMMCO is looked at
from the following point.
1.
Types of conflict and their effect on personal management.
2.
The effect of labour management conflict in ANAMMCO.
3.
The sources of industrial conflict
4.
Industrial conflict resolution technique.
1.3
OBJECTIVE OF THE SRUDY
As conflict is
considered a major set-back in the administration of personnel policies and
programmes and also an unhealthy development to the performance of an industry
and due to the unhealthy development in ANAMMCO which resulted in poor out-put
and performance in its activities, it is the objective of this study to:
1.
Examination the various type of industrial conflict in ANAMMCO
2.
Ascertain the effect of labour management conflict in ANAMMCO
3.
Investigation the sources of the conflict and proffer solutions to them.
4.
Find out various industrial conflict resolution techniques.
