CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION TO STUDY
Labor welfare is an important facet of industrial relation. After employees have been
hired, trained, and remunerated, they need to be retained and maintained to serve the
organization better. Welfare facilities are designed to take care of the well-being of the
employees; they do not generally result in monetary benefits to the employees. Nor are these
facilities provided by employer alone. Government and non-government agencies and trade
unions too, contribute towards employee welfare.
The need and important of labor welfare is being increasingly appreciated throughout the
civilized world. The worker both in industry and agriculture cannot cope up with the pace of
modern life with minimum sustainable amenities. He needs an added stimulus to keep body and
soul together. Employers have realized the importance of their role in providing these extra
amenities.
Each employer depending upon on his priorities gives varying degrees of importance to
labor welfare. It is because the government is not sure that all employers are progressive minded
and will provide basic welfare measures that it introduces statutory legislation from time to time
bring about some measures of uniformity in the basic amenities available to Industrial workers.
Management is the art of getting the work done by the people, therefore it is necessary to seek
the co-operation of the employee for a in order to increase the production and to higher profits.
The co-operation of employees is possible only when they are satisfied with employees and the
workers on the job.
Good welfare and welfare facilities measures enables the employees and his family to a good
welfare facilities like housing medical and children education, recreation etc., helps to improve
the conditions of the employees. Employee’s welfare measures leads to high morals and high
productivity and help to raise the standards of the industry in the county. I have selected this
topic because it very challengeable topic to go through various employees felling on depth about
difficulties of employees and various activities in the

2) the provision of various welfare measures makes the worker realize that they also some
stake in the undertaking in which they are engaged and so think thrice before taking any
reckless action which might prejudice the interest of undertaking
3) The welfare measures like cheap food in canteens, free medical and educational facilities
etc. Indirectly increase industrial dispute the real income of the workers. Hence they try to
avoid industrial dispute , as far as possible and do not go on strikes on flimsy grounds
.
4) Welfare activities will go a long way to better the mental and moral health of workers by
reducing the incidence of vices of industrialization.
5) Welfare activities will reduce labour turnover and absenteeism and create permanent settled
labour force by making service attractive to the labour.
6) Welfare measures will improve the physique , intelligence morality and standard of living
of the workers which in turn will improve their efficiency and productive
5. Co-responsibility
The fifth principle of labour welfare recognizes that the responsibility for labour welfare lies
on both employers and workers and not on employers alone (Mouthy, 1958). Labour welfare
measures are likely to be of little success unless mutuality of interest and responsibilities are
accepted and understood by both the parties, in particular the quality of responsibility at the
attitudinal and organizational level.
Totality of welfare The final principle of labour welfare is that the concept of labour welfare
must permeate throughout the hierarchy of an organization, and accepted by all levels of
functionaries in the enterprise.
It is somewhat difficult to accurately lay down the scope of labour welfare work, especially
because of the fact that labour class is composed of dynamic individuals with complex needs. In
a world of changing values, where ideologies are rapidly undergoing transformation, rigid
statements about the field of labour welfare need to be revised. Labour welfare work is
increasing with the growing knowledge and experience of techniques. An able welfare officer
would, therefore, include in his welfare programmed the activities that would be conducive to the
directly or indirectly, any hindrance, physical or mental of the worker and restores to him the
peace and joy of living the welfare work embraces the worker and his family The following list,
which is by no means exhaustive, gives the items under which welfare work should be conducted
The workshop sanitation and cleanliness, humidity, ventilation, lighting, elimination of dust,
smoke, fumes and gases, convenience and comfort during work, operative postures, sitting
arrangements etc; distribution of work hours and provision for rest times, breaks and workmen’s
safety measures.
These should include factory health centre; medical examination of workers, factory
dispensary and clinic for general treatment; infant welfare; women’s general education; workers
These should cover factory council consisting of representatives of labor and employers;
social welfare departments; interview and vocational testing; employment, follow-up, research
These should include co-operatives or fair price shops for consumer necessities; co-operative
credit society, thrift schemes and savings bank; health insurance; employment bureau; etc.
2) voluntary:
Under voluntary welfare, all those activities are including which are undertaken by the
employees for their workers at their own. These activities are not statutory but the employees
undertake these activities because they increase the efficiency of the workers and maintain the
industrial peace.
3) Mutual :
Mutual welfare activities are those activities which are initiated by the workers for their
betterment .Welfare activities undertaken by the trade unions are included under this head.
Labour welfare activities may be further classified under two heads:
1) Intra Mural Activities :
Intra mural activities are those amenities and services which have been provided
by the employers inside the factories e.g. sanitary conditions ,medical
facilities ,shelter ,canteens etc. These activities are the part of working conditions.

The oxford dictionary refers employee welfare as “efforts to man life worth living for
women”. The committee on employee welfare (1969) has defined employee welfare as “such
services facilities and amenities as adequate canteen rest recreation facilities and sanitary and
Employee welfare is justified for several reasons. It is desirable to recollect the services of
a typical worker in this context.
His/her employee helps dig and haul coal from the depths of the earth to fetch and refine oil , to
build dams and reservoirs, to lay pipes, canals, railway lines and roads. His/her employee
creates and transmits power, and through various phases of manufacturing, patterns raw material
into finished products of necessity as well as luxury.
Welfare may help minimize social evils, such as alcoholism, gambling, prostitution,
drug addiction and the like.
A worker is likely to fall a victim to any of these if he /she is dissatisfied or frustrated. Welfare
facilities tend to make the worker happy, cheerful and confident looking.

Of all the requirements of the workers decent and cheap housing accommodation is of
great significance. The problem of housing is one of the
main causes for fatigue and worry among employees and this comes in the way of discharging
their duties effectively, most of the organizations are located very far from towns where housing

MEANING OF RESEARCH:
Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. Once can also define
research as a scientific systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. In fact,
research is an art of scientific investigation. The Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current
English lays down the meaning of research as “a careful investigation or inquiry especially
through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge.” Some people consider research as a
movement, a movement from the known to the unknown. It is actually a voyage of discovery.
We all possess the vital instinct of inquisitiveness for when the unknown confronts us, we
wonder and our inquisitiveness makes us probe and attain full and fuller understanding of the
unknown. This inquisitiveness is the mother of all knowledge and the method, which man
employs for obtaining the knowledge of whatever the unknown, can be termed as research.
Definition of Research:
According to Redman and Mory:
Research means “systematized effort to gain new knowledge.”
