Abstract :
This paper explores the dynamics of joint
problem-solving in the workplace, employing a tripartite
approach involving the government, employers, and
trade unions. The introductory section defines industrial
relations, emphasizing their significance for
organizational success and economic stability. The paper
outlines the purpose, highlighting the importance of
dynamic interactions among the key actors to prevent
conflicts and disputes. The second section delves into the
importance of dialogue and consultation, discussing
mechanisms such as tripartite bodies, informal channels,
and joint committees. The benefits of regular dialogue in
preventing conflicts are examined, along with the pros
and cons of different dialogue mechanisms. The third
section focuses on the role of collective bargaining in
conflict resolution, equalizing power dynamics, and
preventing unilateral actions. The government's
facilitative role in collective bargaining is explored, along
with examples of how it can help avoid conflicts. The
fourth section emphasizes the significance of joint
problem-solving, highlighting the need for collaboration
among the three actors to identify and resolve workplace
issues. Trust and cooperation are identified as crucial
elements in this process. The importance of information
sharing is discussed in the fifth section, emphasizing its
role in enhancing working conditions, fostering trust,
and preventing conflicts. Examples of shared
information and the benefits of timely information
exchange are presented. The paper concludes with
recommendations for improving interactions among the
government, employers, and trade unions to avoid
conflicts and disputes.
