The effective management of employment relations is not only
integral to organisational success but also addresses the
socioeconomic needs of all South Africans. Labour, employers and
the government have a responsibility to balance, integrate and
reconcile their partly common and partly divergent interests. South
African employment relations therefore adopts a broader perspective
to Employment Relations as a field of study and practice. Rather
than focussing only on the traditional formal and collective
dimensions of the field, all aspects of the employment relationship
are incorporated. This 9th edition of South African employment
relations continues to build on its long-standing success, spanning
more than 30 years, by including current events in the South
African employment relations and wider socioeconomic and political
environments. It furthermore deals with the latest legislative
developments and other contemporary issues. Case studies and short
inserts entitled "ER in practice" highlight the challenges posed by
industry and the business community, with the goal of instilling
confidence in daily business and employment relations activities in
the real world. A new addition to the book is a sensitisation
toward the African context in which South African organisations
operate. The challenges experienced by employment relations
practitioners in this unique environment are highlighted throughout
the chapters and incorporated in the case studies. South African
employment relations is aimed at both students and practitioners in
this field.
Employment relations, traditionally known as industrial or labour
relations, forms an integral part of the activities of labour,
employers and the government in business. It centres on balancing,
integrating and reconciling the partly common and partly divergent
interests of these parties. South African employment relations has
reached the milestone of having been available for more than a
quarter of a century and is the longest running book in this field
in South Africa. This 8th edition of South African employment
relations redefines the various role players in employment
relations management and broadens the field to incorporate them. It
brings the direction the labour market is going in terms of
collective bargaining into sharper focus and proposes ways in which
fair workplace relations can be established. It furthermore deals
with the latest legislative developments, union activities and
other contemporary issues. Besides the case studies and a
comprehensive glossary, this edition now includes short inserts
entitled "ER in practice" to highlight the challenges posed by
industry and the business community, and to empower readers and
practitioners to utilise the insights gained from these examples
with confidence in their daily business activities. Lecturer
support material is also available. South African employment
relations is aimed at both students and practitioners in this
field.
The management of employment relations: Conceptual and contextual
perspectives is specifically designed for students of business
management. This work focuses on laying the employment relations
foundation and on macro, generic and theoretical issues. The
overall purpose of this work is to assist the student in grasping
the essentials that lay the foundation for understanding what
employment relations entails in South Africa.
South African Human Resource Management focuses on the knowledge
and skills that managers at all levels need. The authors integrate
contemporary international research and implementation with a South
African perspective. From strategic planning and the employment
process to staff maintenance and terminating the employment
relationship, the title examines collective manifestations of the
employment relationship, including trade unions and labour
relations dynamics. Yet, in dealing with the management of people
at the macro level, the authors do not neglect the individual. This
edition covers the developments in training and development
legislation, including the South African Qualifications Authority
(SAQA) and the National Qualifications Framework (NQF); employment
equity; the HIV/Aids debate; HR management ethics; HR management
strategy; HR technology and practices in relation to performance
management, appraisal, remuneration and incentives management; and
amendments to legislation, including the Labour Relations Act and
the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
