Introduction

Labour Welfare

"Welfare is a broad concept referring to a state of living of an

individual or a group, in a desirable relationship with the total environment -

ecological economic and social. Labour welfare includes both social and

economic content of welfare social welfare is primarily concerned with the

solution of various s problems of the weaker section of society like

prevention of destitution and poverty. It aims at social development by such

means as social legislation , social reform social service , social work , social

action. The object of economics welfare is to promote economic production

and productivity and through development by increasing equitable

distribution. Labour welfare is a area of social welfare conceptually and

operationally. It covers a broad field and connotes a state of well being,

happiness, satisfaction, conservation and development of human resources.



25/55


Management is absolutely essential in the present times in all

organization, irrespective of their origin, nature and ownership. Every

enterprise, established with a profit motive or some social, religious or such

like other purpose, requires efficient management for its sustained progress.

But, management has been viewed differently by various scholars,

depending upon their beliefs and comprehension. Some regard it as the force

that runs a business and is responsible for its success and failure. Other

perceives it as a means for achievement for desired result through group

effort and by utilizing both human and non-human resources.

Still others deem management to be a process comprising planning,

organizing, staffing, directing and controlling. Also some look on it as an

instrument for designing and maintaining an environment conducive to the

performance of individuals who are working together in a group towards

accomplishment of some pre-determined objectives. Further more, some

think that management merely implies certain tasks which the managers are

supposed to perform. Thus there numerous opinions on what 'management'

actually involve.

Adequate levels of earnings, safe and humane conditions of work and

access to some minimum social security benefits are the major qualitative

dimensions of employment which enhance quality of life of workers and

their productivity. Institutional mechanisms exist for ensuring these to

workers in the organized sector of the economy. These are being

strengthened or expanded to the extent possible. However, workers in the

unorganized sector, who constitute 90 per cent of the total workforce, by and

large, do not have access to such benefits. Steps need to be taken on a larger



26/55


scale than before to improve the quality of working life of the unorganized

workers, including women workers.

Concept

Labour welfare may be viewed as a total concept, as a social concept

and as a relative concept . The total concept is a desirable state of existence

involving the physical, mental, moral and emotional well being. These four

elements together constitute the structure of welfare, on which its totality is

based. The social concept of welfare implies the welfare of men, his family

and his community, all these three prospect are inter related and work

together in a dimensional approach. The relative concept on welfare implies

that welfare if relative in time and place. It is a dynamic and flexible concept

and hence its meaning and concept differ from time to time, region to region,

industry to industry, and country to country depending upon the value

system, level degree of education, social customs, political system, degree of

industrialization and general standard of the socio economic development of

the people .

Labour welfare implies the setting up pf minimum desirable standard

and the provision of facilities like health, food, clothing, housing, medical

assistance, education, insurance, job security, recreation, and so on . Such

facilities enable the workers and his family to lead a good work life, family

life and social life, labour welfare also operate to neutralized the harm full

effect of large scale industrialization and urbanization .

Definition

According to Oxford dictionary defines

Labour welfare as "Effort to make life worth living for work men" .



27/55


Ace. to R.R Hopkins

" Welfare is fundamentally and attitude of mind on the part of

management, influencing the method by which management activities are

undertaken ."

SCOPE OF LABOUR WELFARE

The concept of welfare is necessarily dynamic, having a different

interpretation from country to country and from time to social institution,

degree of industrialization and general level of social and economic

development. Even within the country its content may be different from

region to region.

The study of various report and various works, concludes that the

following activities are generally included under the scope of labour welfare:

1. Housing, medical, educational facilities.

2. Nutrition (including the provision of canteens).

3. Facilities for rest and recreation.

4. Cooperative societies.

5. Day nurseries and creches.

6. Provision of sanitary accommodation.

7. Holiday with pay

8. Social insurance measures undertaken voluntarily by employers alone or

jointly with workers including sickness, maternity benefit scheme,

provident fund, gratuities and pension, etc.

Principles of Labour Welfare



28/55


The following are some of the principles to be kept in mind for

successful implementation of any welfare program in an organization

1. The labour welfare activities should pervade the entire hierarchy of an

org. Management should be welfare oriented at every level

2. The employers should not bargain labour welfare as a substitute for wages

or monetary incentive.

3. The employers should look after the welfare of his employees as a matter

of social obligation

4. There should be proper coordination, harmony and integration of all

labour welfare services in an undertaking

5. The labour welfare work of an org. must be administratively valve and

essentially development oriented.

Benefits of Labour Welfare

Most of time, Indian entrepreneurs brand Indian Labour as lazy,

inefficient and least productive. "One of the major determinants of the

productivity is the quality and quality of labour". Quality of labour depends

primarily upon its health and nutrition, literacy and social values and

customs. Poor diets and because of unsanitary conditions, inadequate disease

prevention and lack of medicines and medical care, they have an adverse

bearing on their efficiency.

According to Labour Investigation Committee, there are three main

benefits of labour welfare activities:(a) Educational facilities, sports, entertainment, etc. make the worker feel

that the employer is interested in their day-to-day life and therefore, their

tendency to grouse and grumble will gradually disappear.



29/55


(b) Housing, canteens, sickness and maternity benefits, provident fund,

gratuity, pensions, etc. make the worker feel that they have a stake in the

industry as much as anyone else has.

(c) Provisions of good and clean food in the canteens improve their health,

entertainment reduces the incidence of vices, medical and maternity benefits

free the workers of worries.

conditions and provision of welfare and social security measures, especially

Theories of Labour welfare

1. The policy theory

This theory assumes that man is selfish by nature. Therefore, an

employer will leave no stone unturned to exploit the labour, if he is not

forced to introduce some welfare measures. This theory thus leads to

enactment of various labour welfare laws, periodical supervision to ascertain

that the laws are implemented and punishment to the employers who do not

obey the laws, hi this theory the main emphasis is on the fear and not on the

spirit of labour welfare which perhaps is the most important factor.

2. The Religious theory

Here the employer is concerned primarily with his own welfare because he

introduces labour welfare measures either as an investment for attainment of

good in his life or next or as an atonement for his sins.

3. The Philanthropic Theory

According to this theory, man's love for mankind is the guiding factor

of labour welfare.

4. The Trusteeship TheoryThis theory has a paternalistic approach. Here employer has a moral

responsibility to look after the interests of their wards who are the workers.

Therefore, labour welfare measures are the outcome of moral responsibility

5. The Placating Theory



34/55


It is believed that the labour groups are becoming more and more

demanding and aware of their rights. Therefore, their demands cannot be

ignored. According to this theory, timely and periodical acts of labour

welfare can appease the workers. These are some kind of pacifiers which

come with a frequent gesture. Sincerity may lack in these programmes

though this content can be bought-off in this manner.

As per this theory, labour welfare programmes work as a sort of

advertisement and help the industrialists to build up good and healthy public

relations.
