International Review of Public Administration, 1999, vol. 4, issue 2, 33-44

Abstract: In spite of the fact that labor-management partnership is a backdrop for everything that is going on in governments at all levels, little has been discussed about how this labor-management tension occurs and how it could be overcome. This paper starts with an assumption that a harmonious labor-management relation is the key to achieving the goals of reinventing government at all levels. Based on group attribution theory, this paper seeks to examine what causes the labor-management tension and to suggest a way to achieve partnership by reducing the tension between labor and management.
