Abstract
With the growing informalization of the
workforce, workers’ representation through
trade unions have witnessed a dynamic
down-turn in recent years. The trend started
since late 1990s, became widespread
across the globe since then. One of the
dominant tendencies that have become
growingly visible in this context is the emergence
of non-unionized organizations. In
this evolving situation, a few research findings
have identified different possibilities
through which employees’ voice and representation
can be ensured. The dominant recommendations
have been identified as
adopting multi-channel model of employee
representation, using partnership route
through a consultative approach, experimenting
with distributive new management
model etc. The present article has discussed
these emerging dimensions of employee
voice representations in the non-unionized
organization scenario from different research
perspectives.
