Explains that although scholars acquainted with better methods and newer theories have explored the influences on workers’ decision to join or not to join the unions, little systematic research has been conducted on this subject in relation to Indian industrial workers. Presents a study based on data collected from five large Indian organizations. Reveals that, compared with other variables, age, skill, upbringing, background, wage structure, constraints of wedlock, political involvement, job dissatisfaction, satisfaction with supervisory behaviour, aspiration for promotion, and desire to participate in decision making help shape the pro‐union or anti‐union attitude of workers. While economic and protective motives appeal much to workers in joining unions, dissatisfaction with the unions and their leaders, and fear of victimization, keep a large number of non‐members away from unions. Provides a review of research on this issue and attempts to distil, from the study results, insights and implications of practical relevance to unions, union leaders and management. Puts forth future research priorities in the area.
The Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises engaged in manufacturing activities are facing various environmental challenges encompassing material and energy consumption; waste generation and disposal; water and air pollution; etc. Hence, it becomes important to adopt policies, strategies, and technologies, which may help to bring down the adverse impacts of manufacturing on the environment. In this context, the current study identified the 15 critical environmental sustainability indicators to gauge the impact of their manufacturing activities on the environment taking a case of lock manufacturing industries. To understand the interdependence among the selected indicators, the study further utilizes an integrated DEMATEL-MMDE-ISM approach to analyse the inputs of industry professionals. The results of the study highlighted that design of products, which can be disassembled, reused, or recycled and are free from hazardous materials play a significant role in enhancing the environmental sustainability of the concerned industry. The study is expected to aid decision-makers (industry practitioners and academic researchers) to identify strategic areas in order to achieve higher environmental sustainability in manufacturing organizations.
