Factors Determining the Adoption of Employment and Labour Relation Act No.6 Of 2014 Requirement by Private Organization in Mwanza City, Tanzania, 2020.

Abstract

Organizations in the world operate under well-defined policies, rules and regulations which should be approved by the higher ities of the particular organizations. The Government of Tanzania (GoT) has set the minimum standards that all the employers should treat their employees with or above the minimum standards as described under ELRA No. 6 of 2004. The target of the study was to assess the effective use of the Act in private organizations in Mwanza City Council. This study considered few elements of the Act such as; working hours, remunerations, leaves, termination procedures, formulation and implementation of trade unions, employer-employee collective bargaining, strikes and lockouts and proved that employers are against the act and do not significantly implement at their workplace as required appropriately. The study focused on private organizations only, of which they put little consideration to their manpower, utilizing the human resources at maximum with little payments targeting to maximize profits. In the recommendation part, it is advised that the private employers should abide by the act to use the platform as motivational strategies to the employees and eventually reduce the possible staff turnover in their organizations.
