STRIKE ACTION AND ADMINISTRATIVE EFFICACY IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS
Keywords:
strike, management, employee, administration, efficacyAbstract
It is a disturbing situation when organizational disagreement takes place between the management and the workforce in an institution, which often leads to the suspension of work by the employee. When strike action takes place in an institution as a result of a dispute between the management and the employee, academic and other activities are brought to a standstill, which renders the whole system stagnant and thereby making the administration of the institution ineffective. This paper discussed the concept of strike action, causes of strikes, types of strikes, pros and cons of strike action, strike effect on the academic programme, and the relationship between strike action and administrative efficacy. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made on the need to avoid organizational disputes between management and employees to prevent the act of suspending work, which can paralyze activities in its totality and thus prevent a reliable accomplishment of the pre-determined objectives of the institution.
