Toyota, a car manufacture as well as a family owned global corporation, meets its goals fundamentally rooted from a creed called “The Toyota way”(2005). “Respect for the people” and “continuous improvement”(2005) a motto that not only defines “The Toyota way” but also serves as the backbone of Toyota’s success and proves through it’s fruition regarding how constructive the relationship between management and labor truly is. Through this analytical essay, interaction between management and labor are identified throughout the progression and current polices, arrangements, and procedures in Toyota’s business. For example, a labor dispute in 1950 (2008) which led to the staple of trust and respect between management and labor by the “Labor-management joint declaration” establishing in 1962. “The Toyota way” is expressed in the organization’s culture through implementing procedures and plans that improve employee self worth and awareness (2008). Several examples of procedures and plans are examined from researching the company. Following Toyota’s two major keys, “respect for the people” and ”continuous improvement,” communication between employees and management serves in a purpose to centralize the concept of which the individual’s effort essentially creates the team’s final outcome. (2008) In regards to the team everyone may not work in the same department and yet no department is regarded with more importance thus creating a equal environment leading to higher awareness

The Nokia Corporation was formed in 1967 after Nokia Ab, Finnish Cable Works and Finish Rubber Works merged. Nokia is a major corporation in the mobile phones and telecommunications industry. Nokia applies particular human resource control practices that concentrate on attracting and preserving properly employees.

The new Chrysler culture stems from Sergio Marchionne and his philosophy of developmental relationship strength, as well as strategic planning and onboarding. The unconventional methods used by Mr. Marchionne has proven successful throughout the organization. As Mr. Marchionne explained, “mediocrity will kill you. We can’t accept it” (Welch & et al., 2009). Mediocracy, as Mr. Marchionne revealed, is not a standard in which Chrysler can afford to accommodate. Instead, it has set the bar high to increase the teamwork, motivation, socialization and internal knowledge to meet the improvement in productivity as well as the product itself. Quite the change, from the hierarchical values, basic assumptions and culture, set previously by the organization of employee’s roles and knowledge being taken for granted and unappreciated.
Management can play a vital role in shaping their workplaces. A manager can invoke increases in co-operation and harmony amongst themselves and workers by addressing key issues that affect both groups. Management can facilitate this, for instance, by implementing plans that attempt to eliminate the issues that many workers face day-to-day such as monotony and fatigue (which have negative effects on productivity). Managers can reduce fatigue and monotony with job rotation and job enlargement, for example (Krahn, Lowe, Hughes, 2011 p. 264). Management can attempt to increase morale in their workplace by involving workers in decision-making processes normally closed off to managerial personnel; for instance, the addition of a new technology that a group of workers will eventually have to use. A manager could adopt a normative approach to managing their employees by conveying true, not fabricated, trust and interest in their employees and the work process as well (Krahn, Lowe, Hughes, 2011 p. 241). A manager could show this by doing the actual labour himself for a day or week or going out on the shop floor and asking meaningful questions. Since unions serve to represent the mass of workers they can work alongside management teams to better shape the workplace. The union,
Since the beginning of Human Relation studies in 1950s, different theories on this field have created many models to justify the effects of employment relationship on organization performance. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (2010) has developed a definition for employee’s voice in an organization as a two-way communication between employer and employee which consist of employer both passing the message and receiving feedbacks from employees. Moreover, this concept’s concentration lies mainly on the way employees devote their capacity and responsibility in decision-making process of an organization.

Employment relations refer to the theory and practice in the management and regulation of employee relationship (Smith, 2012; Wilton, 2010). It deals particularly with the socio-political aspect of that relationship as well as the distribution of power between management and employees, conflict and the regulatory framework of the relationship. It has traditionally been understood as industrial relations between trade unions and management. As such it includes collective bargaining, negotiation and consultation and industrial conflict. Recent changes have altered the employment environment. Among these were the new forms of employee management, such as HRM, changing industrial structure to a service-dominated type, the decline in trade union power and influence, disfavor towards the union movement, greater individualization and flexibility in dealing with labor, and changing social attitude and perception towards trade unions. Employment relations have to do with managing the individual worker and collective employment relationship, whether in unionized or non-unionized workplaces. It has also come to mean the skill-set or philosophy for employers' management function or an area of activity (Smith, Wilton).

3.The HRM strategy that was being pursued by the management was in alignment with the philosophies of its parent company HMCL. The HMCL considered itself a unique organization, having adopted some distinctive employment and production practices. There were two fundamental beliefs HMSI’s philosophy advocated: respect for individual differences, and the “three Joys”. Respect for the individual stemmed from initiative, equality, and trust. This translated into independence of spirit and freedom, equality and mutual trust of human beings who worked or came into contact with the company. The three joys; buying, selling, and manufacturing, even translated into the key mission: the company had imbibed the “joy of creating”

Employment relations is a more pragmatic and informed theoretical approach which is closely associated with industrial relations (Kramar, 1997). Hence, according to (Kramar, 1997), Employment relations can be defined as a “study of the formal and informal rules which regulate the employment relationship and social processes which create and enforce these rules”. In this context, industrial relations is defined as an area which consisted of all aspects of work, problems that affected both employees and employers thereby including the practices of both employer and worker organizations (Kaufman, 2001). The term employment relations integrates all the three concepts of “industrial relations”, “human resource management” and “employee relations” with human resource management being the administrative area that focusses more on the employees of the organization (Rouse, 2015) and employee relations being more focussed on the practical, emotional and physical relationship between an employer and employee (HRZone, 2015).

Two men, two novels separated by nearly a century, both examine the importance of labor and its effects on a capitalist system. Adam Smith published Wealth of Nations in 1776 in which he details his concept of the division of labor; a concept that he believed would further the productivity of the labor market. In Capital, Volume 1, published in 1867, Karl Marx took a much different stance on the division of labor. Writing nearly a century after the publication of Wealth of Nations, Marx was in the position of the critiquing Smith’s revolutionary theory of division of labor. Instead of praising Smith, Marx saw the current state of labor and the capitalist model of society as degrading to the laborer.
