INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
1. INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY
CONTRACT LABOUR (1970):
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)
13/135
CONTRACT LABOUR is a term applied to labour as employed to perform some
work, which has no direct employer employee relation with the party called principal
employer, for whom that work is ultimately done.
The parties who act as intermediary between the principal employers and the worker are
called as the contractors and their relationship with the principal employer is governed by
contract between them.
All over the world, employment is recognized as a contract between employer and
employee. Both parties are supposed to honour it. Those were the reasons that even the fifth pay
commission headed by Justice Mr. Pandian has suggested: that workers for certain jobs in the
government of India also should be engaged through contract system and that will unburden the
government to a great extent. The concept of turn key and franchise is also an extension of
the contract labour system. Hence, there has been a demand in this country that contract labour
act, 1970 be amended to bring it in tune with the changing scenario of the world. In order to
taken this study to know the satisfaction level of the contract labour to increase the productivity
and their performance in C.R.I Pumps. Thus, this project is undertaken to make a study.
Advantagesof Using Temporary Labor:
When we use temporary labour we should be getting an employee that has already been
screened and interviewed by the temp agency. If we work closely with the same agency
they should be able to get a feel for what type of employees we are looking for. This also
saves our time having to go through the normal hiring process.
If we are not satisfied with the employee. Well the solution to that is simple. Ask the
Contractor to send out someone else. We are not required to use anyone he sends to us.
There are a couple of other advantages to using a temporary labour. One is the ability to
let go the employee when we no longer need them. All we have to do is make a call or
give a letter and the Contractor will handle the employee.
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)
14/135
The other advantage is the ease with which payroll is handled. Thats because the
contractor handles the employees payroll. He deals with all the taxes as well as the
benefits the employee might be receiving. All we have to do is pay the bill.
Economic and financial feasibility - the contract Labour are able to do a better job interms of supervision since they have a fear of loss of job as compared to regular workers.
As such the principal employer has no liability towards the contract labours but his
liability is limited to the act of payment of bill raised by the contractor.
Under sec. 16 (1) (c) of contract labour Act if the contract labour appointed by the
contractor is more than 100 then it is the duty of contractor to provide Canteen for the
Labours.
As the contract Labours are appointed by contractor there will be no chance for Labour
Unions.
Dis-Advantages of Using Temporary Labor:
As per Sec. 10 of Contract Labour Act. We cannot appoint them on machine work but
only loading and un-loading work can be given to them.
However, being the principal employer, we have to ensure that the contract employees
are getting their salary from the contractor in time. It is the responsibility of the principal
employer to ensure that EPF/ESI in respect of these workers is remitted by the contractor
in time. We have also to ensure that bonus is given to those who are eligible for. Besides,
we have to obtain permission from the appropriate authorities for hiring employees
through a contractor.
Also if the contractor dose not complies with the statutory provisions under sec. 21
regarding payment of wages the Principal employer have to pay the same.
The downside of hiring temporary employees? The main problem actually comes from
what happens when we find an employee wed like to keep. Most temp agencies require
their workers to sign a contract. Most are either three or six months in duration. The
contract keeps the worker from jumping ship if they are offered a job. This gives the
company that is using the employee usually only two choices. One is to buy out the
contract. This can often cost the company thousands of rupees. Its how the agency is able
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)
15/135
to still make its money on the worker. The other option is to keep the worker on until the
employees contract runs out. Either way our business will pay a price. Its up to us to
decide whether the employee is worth the price.
As the employees are appointed by contractor we have no chance to judge their working
ability before appointing them.
Essential ingredients of contract labor:
1. That the employment may be or through a contractor as define section 2(1) (c) of the act.
2. That he must be a workman as defined in section 2(a)(I) of the act.
3. That he must be employed in or in connection with the work of the establishment. It follows
that any person who is in some manner or other connected with the work of the establishment
would be contract labour.
4. That the employment may be with or without the knowledge of the principal employer.
5. There is no warranty to impose that it is only where the contractor obtains a license. Under the
act that workmen employed through him will be contract labour.
Standard Operating Procedure for Contract Labour Management System:
I. Ensuring issuance of work order to the party.
II. Ensuring safety training of the labours indicated in the list submitted by the contractors for
engineering as a contract labour to carry out the work.
III. Receipt of the recommendation of HOD/ section in charge for the preparation of the Gate
Passes of the labours undergone for safety training and submission of such list by contractors in
contract cell.
IV. Ensuring PFcode no of contractor by contract cell & then filling up of the nomination form
of provident fund from contract labours.
V. Ensuring ESI code no. of contractors by contract cell and then filling up of the relevant
declaration forms from contract labours.
VI. Ensuring Form 30 of Medical Fitness Certificate issued by the Government Doctors in
respect of each labours.

2. INTRODUCTION TO THE PUMP INDUSTRY
A pump is a device that moves fluids (liquids orgases), or sometimesslurries, by
mechanical action. Pumps can be classified into three major groups according to the method they
use to move the fluid: direct lift, displacement, and gravity pumps.
Pumps operate by some mechanism (typicallyreciprocating orrotary), and
consumeenergy to performmechanical workby moving the fluid. Pumps operate via many
energy sources, including manual operation, electricity,engines,orwind power,come in many
sizes, from microscopic for use in medical applications to large industrial pumps.
Mechanical pumps serve in a wide range of applications such as wells, aquarium, pond
filtering andaeration, in thecar industry forwater-cooling andfuel injection, in theenergy
industry forpumping oil andnatural gas or for operatingcooling towers.In themedical industry,
pumps are used for biochemical processes in developing and manufacturing medicine, and as
artificial replacements for body parts, in particular theartificial heart andpenile prosthesis.
In biology, many different types of chemical and bio-mechanical pumps haveevolved,
andbio mimicry is sometimes used in developing new types of mechanical pumps.
TYPES:
Mechanical pumps may be submerged in the fluid they are pumping or external to the
fluid. Pumps can be classified by their method of displacement intopositive displacement
pumps,impulse pumps,velocity pumps,gravity pumps,steam pumps andvalve less pumps.
Positive displacement pump:
A positive displacement pump makes a fluid move by trapping a fixed amount and
forcing (displacing) that trapped volume into the discharge pipe. Some positive displacement
pumps use an expanding cavity on the suction side and a decreasing cavity on the discharge side.
Liquid flows into the pump as the cavity on the suction side expands and the liquid flows out of
the discharge as the cavity collapses. The volume is constant through each cycle of operation.

Positive displacement pumps behavior and safety:
Positive displacement pumps, unlikecentrifugal orroot-dynamicpumps, theoretically
can produce the same flow at a given speed (RPM) no matter what the discharge pressure. Thus,
positive displacement pumps are constant flow machines. However, a slight increase in internal
leakage as the pressure increases prevents a truly constant flow rate.
A positive displacement pump must not operate against a closed valve on the discharge
side of the pump, because it has no shutoff head like centrifugal pumps. A positive displacement
pump operating against a closed discharge valve continues to produce flow and the pressure in
the discharge line increases until the line bursts, the pump is severely damaged, or both.
A relief orsafety valve on the discharge side of the positive displacement pump is
therefore necessary. The relief valve can be internal or external. The pump manufacturer
normally has the option to supply internal relief or safety valves. The internal valve is usually
only used as a safety precaution. An external relief valve in the discharge line, with a return line
back to the suction line or supply tank provides increased safety.
Rotary positive displacement pumps:
Positive displacement rotary pumps move fluid using a rotating mechanism that creates a
vacuum that captures and draws in the liquid.
Advantages:
Rotary pumps are very efficient because they naturally remove air from the lines,
eliminating the need to bleed the air from the lines manually.
Disadvantages:The nature of the pump demands very close clearances between the rotating pump and
the outer edge, making it rotate at a slow, steady speed. If rotary pumps are operated at high
speeds, the fluids because erosion, which eventually causes enlarged clearances that liquid can
pass through, this reduces efficiency.

Rotary positive displacement pumps fall into three main types:
Gear pumps - a simple type of rotary pump where the liquid is pushed between two gears
Screw pumps - the shape of the internals of this pump usually two screws turning against
each other pump the liquid
Rotary vane pumps - similar toscroll compressors,these have a cylindrical rotor encased in a
similarly shaped housing. As the rotor orbits, the vanes trap fluid between the rotor and the
casing, drawing the fluid through the pump.
Triplex-style plunger pumps:
Triplex plunger pumps use three plungers, which reduces the pulsation of single
reciprocating plunger pumps. Adding a pulsation dampener on the pump outlet can further
smooth the pump ripple, or ripple graph of a pump transducer. The dynamic relationship of the
high-pressure fluid and plunger generally requires high-quality plunger seals. Plunger pumps
with a larger number of plungers have the benefit of increased flow, or smoother flow without a
pulsation dampener. The increase in moving parts and crankshaft load is one drawback.
Car washes often use these triplex-style plunger pumps (perhaps without pulsation
dampeners). In 1968, William Bridgeman significantly reduced the size of the triplex pump and
increased the lifespan so that car washes could use equipment with smaller footprints. Durable
high pressure seals, low pressure seals and oil seals, hardened crankshafts, hardened connecting
rods, thick ceramic plungers and heavier duty ball and roller bearings improve reliability in
triplex pumps. Triplex pumps now are in a myriad of markets across the world.

Compressed-air-powered double-diaphragm pumps:
One modern application of positive displacement diaphragm pumps is compressed-air-
powered double-diaphragmpumps. Run on compressed air these pumps are intrinsically safe by
design, although all manufacturers offer ATEX certified models to comply with industry
regulation. Commonly seen in all areas of industry from shipping to processing, Walden Pumps,
Greco, Sandpiper or ARO are generally the larger of the brands. They are relatively inexpensive
and can perform almost any duty, from pumping water out ofbunds, to pumping hydrochloric
acid from secure storage (dependent on how the pump is manufactured elastomers / body
construction). Lift is normally limited to roughly 6m although heads can reach almost 200 Psi.
Rope pumps:
Devised in China as chain pumps over 1000 years ago, these pumps can be made from
very simple materials: A rope, a wheel and a PVC pipe are sufficient to make a simple rope
pump. For this reason they have become extremely popular around the world since the 1980s.
Rope pump efficiency has been studied by grass roots organizations and the techniques for
making and running them has been continuously improved.
Impulse Pumps:
Impulse pumps use pressure created by gas (usually air). In some impulse pumps the gas
trapped in the liquid (usually water), is released and accumulated somewhere in the pump,
creating a pressure that can push part of the liquid upwards.
Impulse pumps include:
Hydraulic rampumps - uses pressure built up internally from released gas in liquid flow.
Pulser pumps - run with natural resources, by kinetic energy only.
Airlift pumps - run on air inserted into pipe, pushing up the water, when bubbles move
upward, or on pressure inside pipe pushing water up.

Hydraulic ram pumps:
Ahydraulic ram is a water pump powered by hydropower. It takes in water at relatively
low pressure and high flow-rate and outputs water at a higher hydraulic-head and lower flow-
rate. The device uses thewater hammer effect to develop pressure that lifts a portion of the input
water that powers the pump to a point higher than where the water started.
The hydraulic ram is sometimes used in remote areas, where there is both a source of
low-head hydropower, and a need for pumping water to a destination higher in elevation than the
source. In this situation, the ram is often useful, since it requires no outside source of power other
than the kinetic energy of flowing water.
Velocity pumps:
Rot dynamic pumps (or dynamic pumps) are a type of velocity pump in which energy is
added to the fluid by increasing the flow velocity. This increase in energy is converted to a gain
in potential energy (pressure) when the velocity is reduced prior to or as the flow exits the pump
into the discharge pipe. This conversion of kinetic energy to pressure is explained by theFirst
law of thermodynamics,or more specifically byBernoulli's principle.
Dynamic pumps can be further subdivided according to the means in which the velocity
gain is achieved.
These types of pumps have a number of characteristics:
Continuous energy:
1. Conversion of added energy to increase inkinetic energy (increase in velocity)
2. Conversion of increased velocity (kinetic energy) to an increase in pressure head
A practical difference between dynamic and positive displacement pumps is how they
operate under closed valve conditions. Positive displacement pumps physically displace fluid, so
closing a valve downstream of a positive displacement pump produces a continual pressure build
up that can cause mechanical failure of pipeline or pump. Dynamic pumps differ in that they can
be safely operated under closed valve conditions (for short periods of time).

Centrifugal pump:
A centrifugal pump is a rot dynamic pump that uses a rotatingimpeller to increase the
pressure and flow rate of a fluid. Centrifugal pumps are the most common type of pump used to
move liquids through a piping system. The fluid enters the pump impeller along or near to the
rotating axis and is accelerated by the impeller, flowing radically outward or axially into a
diffuser orvolute chamber, from where it exits into the downstream piping system. Centrifugal
pumps are typically used for large discharge through smaller heads.
Centrifugal pumps are most often associated with the radial-flow type. However, the term
"centrifugal pump" can be used to describe all impeller type rot dynamic pumps including the
radial, axial and mixed-flow variations.
Radial-flow pumps:
Often simply referred to as centrifugal pumps. The fluid enters along the axial plane, is
accelerated by the impeller and exits at right angles to the shaft (radically). Radial-flow pumps
operate at higher pressures and lower flow rates than axial and mixed-flow pumps.
Axial-flow pumps:
Axial-flow pumps differ from radial-flow in that the fluid enters and exits along the same
direction parallel to the rotating shaft. The fluid is not accelerated but instead "lifted" by the
action of the impeller. They may be likened to a propeller spinning in a length of tube. Axial-
flow pumps operate at much lower pressures and higher flow rates than radial-flow pumps.
Mixed-flow pumps:
Mixed-flow pumps function as a compromise between radial and axial-flow pumps. The
fluid experiences both radial acceleration and lift and exits the impeller somewhere between 0
and 90 degrees from the axial direction. As a consequence mixed-flow pumps operate at higher
pressures than axial-flow pumps while delivering higher discharges than radial-flow pumps. The
exit angle of the flow dictates the pressure head-discharge characteristic in relation to radial and
mixed-flow.

Educator - jet pump:
This uses a jet, often of steam, to create a low pressure. This low pressure sucks in fluid
and propels it into a higher pressure region.
Gravity pumps:
Gravity pumps include thesiphon andHeron's fountainand there also
importantquanta or foggier systems that simply use downhill flow to take water from far-
underground aquifers in high areas to consumers at lower elevations. Thehydraulic ram is also
sometimes called a gravity pump.
Steam pumps:
Steam pumps have been for a long time mainly of historical interest. They include any
type of pump powered by asteam engine and alsopiston less pumps such as Savers or
thePulsometer steam pump.
Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in low power solar steam pumps for use
in smallholder irrigation in developing countries. Previously small steam engines have not been
viable because of escalating inefficiencies as vapour engines decrease in size. However the use
of modern engineering materials coupled with alternative engine configurations has meant that
these types of system are now a cost effective opportunity.

3. INTRODUCTION TO THE ORGANISATION
The beginning of C.R.I, back in 1961, was a resolute attempt to produce a few
irrigation equipments using the limited facility of an in-house foundry. Now, after four
eventful decades, the founders dream has become a reality, a multi -winged organization that
produces different varieties of pumps and motors like waste water pumps, pressure booster
pumps, ch pumps, drainage pumps, sewage pumps and valves that are engineered to
perfection. What made the legendary growth possible is the flawlessly maintained value
system of the company. The name C.R.I. itself encapsulates the companys ethos:
Commitment, Reliability, Innovation and it has now become a household name associated
with water lifting pumps be it for agriculture, industry, domestic, mining or civil
applications.
Mr. K. Goal, the founder established CRI PUMPS at Coimbatore in the year 1961.
CRI PUMPS stands for Commitment, Reliability and Innovation. It had a modest
beginning with the manufacturing of foot valves. After four eventful decades, it is a reputed
organization which produces more than 1000 varieties of perfectly engineered pumps and
motors and sells its products in numerous countries spread across six continents.
Mr. G. Soundarajan was born in Coimbatore and completed his sciencegraduation in P.S.G college of Arts & Science. He joined his family business in 1979. The
sudden demise of his father in 1980 was a huge setback for the business and saw Mr. G.
Soundarajan along with his 3 brothers shouldering the responsibility of building the business.
His Vision, determination and undaunted confidence propelled him to confront the
hurdles that came in the way and this paved way for the group to start its own offices
throughout India. Currently C.R.I has 4500 dealers outlets served by 30 company offices
and five foreign subsidiary companies in South Africa, UAE, Brazil, Turkey and Spain.
Mr. G. Soundarajan passion and dream of talking company to the global level was
made possible in the year 2000. He has made significant moves that have made the presence
of CRI felt in over 70 countries if the world.

5. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The labours where busy with their works, it was difficult to get the data and the
information.
The contract labour was outsourced, so the language becomes a barrier to communicate
with them. It makes me too hard to collect the datas.
Due to the restriction of the company, cannot able to make a detail study of contract
labours in a limited time.
The study is done in Coimbatore branch as it may not applicable to other plant outs. The employees views and opinions varying in nature and hence the results cannot be
generalized.

6. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Ahmed Hammed Kaleenhas made Studies on Industrial/cognitive task performance in
Intec open science Data may be obtained either from the primary source or the secondary
source. A primary source is one that itself collects the data; a secondary source is one that makes
available data which were collected by some other agency. In an integrated society, changes and
disturbances propagate rapidly and widely and the increasing scale of operations requires also
that rare events and circumstances are considered during systems design. In this situation, human
factors contributions should be increasingly proactive, not only responding to observed
problems, but also, they should be based on models of adaptive human behavior in complex,
dynamic systems.
Lachlan and Deserts (1972),has made a study on centralized contract actual agents.
In this study he explained the essence of the firm is the centralized contractual agent in a team
productive process. And one method of reducing shirking is for someone to specialize as a
monitor to check the input performance of team members.
Ann-Sophie Vandenberghas conducted a research in laborcontracts. Four Important
aspects of the employment relationship will be discussed: Matching of employer and employee,
acquisition and retention of firm-Specific human capital, earnings stability as insurance and the
effort intensity of employees. These four important areas of the employment relationship are
encountered by imperfections, mainly information problems and opportunistic behavior. Some
labor market institutions, such as the design of a certain wage policy, can be explained as devices
to overcome these imperfections. The employment contract can be viewed as a combination of
explicit and implicit agreements.
Acaridae s (1975) has made a study on labor and insurance considers the risk-neutral
firms to act both as employers and as insurers of homogenous, risk-averse laborers. The use of
the employment contract as an insurance contract has been discussed in the implicit contract
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)

theory. The origins of implicit-contract theory lie in the belief that observed movements in wages
and employment cannot be adequately explained by a competitive spot labor market in which
wages are always equal to the marginal product of labor and the labor market is always in
equilibrium. Instead, the observation in the labor market is that over the cycle
Azariadis (1987)has a study on laborservices. The contract is a complete description,
made before the state of nature (good or bad) becomes known, of the labor services to be
rendered unto the firm in each state of nature, and of the corresponding payments to be delivered
to the worker. These types of risk sharing agreements are termed implicit-contracts in the
implicit contract theory.
Benjamin Yomba has made a study in evaluation of employeesproductivity in relation
to their contract status. This study uses (a) survey data collected among manufacturing sector
firms, having more than 15 employees, in Cameroon between April and May 2006 and (b)
information issued by the National Institute of Statistics. Information collected concerned 45
firms spanning the period 2003 to 2005. This study uses the stochastic production frontier,
distinguishing employees holding fixed-term contract (FTC) from employees that do not have
fixed-term contracts (indefinite-term contract (ITC)).
Bentolila and Saint-Paul, 1994) has made a study ona Work contract affects business
performance. The fixed-term contracts (FTC) allow the company to manage demand
fluctuations in consumer goods and services market by minimizing the adjustment1 costs of the
number of employees. Thus, in periods of expansion, the firm may hire employees under fixed-
terms and they can be dismissed without costs during periods of recession. Beyond this
numerical flexibility, FTCs allow the firm to acquire a functional flexibility, which will facilitate
access to expensive expertise (Christensen, 1991). Numerical flexibility and functional
flexibility allow the firm to manage its payroll and increase profits.
Benton, 1991, Work contracts affects business performance through production cost and
the productivity of factors of production. The fixed-term contracts (FTC) allow the company to
manage demand fluctuations in consumer goods and services market by minimizing the
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)

adjustment costs of the number of employees. Thus, in periods of expansion, the firm may hire
employees under fixed-terms and they can be dismissed without costs during periods of
recession. Beyond this numerical flexibility, FTCs allow the firm to acquire a functional
flexibility, which will facilitate access to expensive expertise.
Bosworth, Dawkins and Stromback (1996, p. 280)has made the study on risks and
labor returns. It is not the implicit nature of the insurance contract that is the crucial feature of
implicit contract theory, but it is the question how risk is shared between employer and
employee. For that reason, risk-sharing agreements would be a better term. It is, however, true
that the risk-sharing agreement considered by the implicit contract literature is implicit. Indeed,
we do not observe such risk- sharing contracts in the real world.
Carmichael, 1989, A contract to induce the employee to provide a certain effort level is
often an understanding that cannot be enforced by third parties, such as courts. Such contracts
are labeled implicit contracts. It is, for example, usually understood, but seldom explicitly
expressed, that workers who provide a high effort level will be rewarded with a bonus. Implicit
contracts are distinguished from explicit contracts which can be enforced by third parties.
Carat and Humphreys (2008)has done a research in employeesperformance. In his
study he advise that although it is possible to theoretically separate the human resource function
of performance appraisal from broader strategic management processes, such an approach is not
realistic for organizational leaders charged with strategy execution...
Chen &Huang (2009) has made a research on effective labor performance. In his
study he indicates that strategic human resource practices of which performance appraisal are an
essential part lead to effective knowledge management.
Derby (2001) in his article labor and labor welfare Under Article 246 of the Indian
constitution, issues related to labor and labor welfare come under ListIII that is the Concurrent
List2. Exceptional matters related to labor and safety in mines and oilfields and industrial
disputes concerning union employees come under Central List. In all there are 47 central labor

Eyck (2003) states three basic theories for perceived need for flexibility in labor markets.
The first one emphasizes on the need for labor force to change according to the market
fluctuations which happens because of increase in specialized products that requires firms to
quickly change the size, composition, and at times the location of the workforce. The second
emphasizes on lowering the labor costs and increasing productivity because of rising
competitiveness. The third is the political economy perspective which advocates free markets
where there would be no government intervention and interference of trade unionism
Gordon Beckerman has made a study in Labor Market Institutions. The studies
impacts of four types of labor market institutions: minimum wages, employment protection
regulation, unions and collective bargaining, and mandated benefits.The Methodologyused by
him in this study isboth qualitative and quantitative approaches have been used to analyze the
impacts of different labor market institutions. The overall conclusion of modest impacts drawn in
this review suggests that, in many cases, governments set regulations and workers and employers
negotiate contracts that avoid the worst consequences of these potentially extreme risks.
Grossman and Hart (1986) on his study economic institutions and contracts explained
that the heterogeneity and information also play key roles in the theory of employment contracts
reviewed in Section 3. The past forty years have witnessed tremendous progress in the economic
theory of contract, especially in terms of teasing out how a particular set of parties should design
a contract given the transaction costs characterizing the employment relationship. The influential
principal-agent model, for example, was developed in the context of the insurance contract,
which species state-contingent payments. The modern theory of contract, building on the work of
Grossman and Hart recognizes that an important function of economic institutions and contracts
is the efficient allocation of authority and decision rights within a relationship.
Hall and Purcell (2003), has made a study on psychological contract With the re-
emergence of interest in the psychological contract, a different interpretation was utilized. Rather
than focus on a two-way exchange, she explicitly distinguished between conceptualizations at
the level of the individual, and at the organizational relationship level. Rousseau sought to focus
in on the former by advancing a case for individual employee subjectivity in employment. For
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)
42/135
her, the psychological contract is an individual employees be life in mutual obligations
between that person and another party such as an employer, re-conceptualization of the
psychological contract stressed an emphasis on the individual employees sense of obligations,
rather than expectations, on the assumption that unmet obligations would naturally result in a
more damaging response than unmet expectations.
Holmstrom, (1981) has done a study on cost of contract labor. The problem with
contracts that are implicit (understood) compared to explicit (written) contracts is that they are
not enforceable by a third party, such as a court. One of the parties might breach the implicit risk
sharing agreement; the employer can increase his profits by dismissing the worker whose
marginal revenue product is below the fixed wage in the bad state of nature and replace him by a
cheaper worker, and the employee has an incentive to quit when his marginal revenue product is
higher than the fixed wage in the good state of nature. These implications can be avoided when
the implicit contract is self enforcing through labor market institutions such as mobility costs
Howard and Foster (1999) has done a research in certain human resource (HR)
management practices (such as a good labor performance) establish a platform for basing
employee empowerment, and that increasing empowerment would be positively related to
perceptions of leadership commitment to quality. Scuba Rae. A.V, (1991) in his study entitled,
"Labor Management Co-operation and Conflict in the Indian Steel Industry -A Tale of the Two
Sectors", examined the comparative level of labor management co-operation and conflict in
public sector Bokhara Steel Plant and private sector Tata Steel Plant. Collective bargaining,
recognition of trade unions, closer association of employees with management and workers
participation was the aspects studied.
Hyde, 2006 has made a study on Labor law rules. it may have redistributive aims,
while at the same time giving expression to notions of fair treatment which serve as focal
points in bargaining between the parties .The employment contract is a complex legal
institution in this sense. It represents a standard form for labor transactions, based on a tradeoff
between the powers of coordination reserved to the employer and the employees access to
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)
43/135
mechanisms for income-smoothing and insurance which help to offset risks associated with
wage-dependence.
Ivan Martin has conducted a study on Labor Markets Performance and Migration
Flows in Arab Mediterranean Countries: Determinants and Effects The main findings of the
Study Despite recent improvements in the availability and the quality of employment and
migration statistics for AMCs, any serious analysis of labor markets and migration in AMCs is
seriously hampered by a widespread scarcity of data at the national level, the inaccessibility,
unreliability and inconsistency of available data and the difficulty of comparing data from across
the region.
Kaufman, 2007 in his study entitled on labor markets. The theoretical reappraisal
represented by this work remains, however, somewhat incomplete. Rather than being seen as
undermining the competitive model of the labor market, it has been understood as qualifying it in
the narrow sense of showing that, in certain specific contexts, the conditions for perfect
competition may not obtain. How far this is the case has come to be viewed as an empirical
matter, and because more recent studies have found evidence of negative employment effects
from the raising of minimum wage rates (at least in the US context; see section 4.1),
Knight (1921), a study on implicit contracts exploits. He argued that inherently
confident and venturesome entrepreneurs will offer to relieve their employees of some market
risks in return for the right to make locative decisions. The basic idea of implicit-contract theory
is that in their dealings employers are less risk-averse than workers. One reason is that owners of
capital who represent the employers can divide their capital among many different firms through
the stock market, and by this diversification they obtain insurance against the risks faced by
individual firms. On the other hand, for workers it is generally difficult to diversify assets which
take the form of human capital because workers generally work for only one employer at the
time.
Kumar (1998) has conducted a study on the customers Satisfaction and Promotional
Strategy for ELGI Pump sets in Coimbatore City. The main objective of the study was to find
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)
44/135
socio-economic status of the customers and to find out the awareness and preference of
customers towards the product.
Lazar (1979)has made a research in laborproductivity. In his study it shows that it is
beneficial to both employer and employee to arrange workers pay over time so that employees
are underpaid (less than their marginal productivity) early in their careers and overpaid later
on. Holding out payments until late in the individuals lifetime alters the workers incentives to
reduce his effort on the job. Workers are less likely to shirk their responsibilities because the
penalties for being caught and fired are forfeiture of a late future award.
Levinson et al. (1962: 21) has made a study on labor and employment relationship
saw the psychological contract as a series of mutual expectations of which the parties to the
relationship may not contracts -where employees do not expect a long-lasting relational
process with their organization based on loyalty and job security, but rather perceive their
employment as a transaction in which long hours are provided in exchange for high contingent
pay and trainingseemed to capture the mood of the day concerning labor market flexibility and
economic restructuring of the employment relationship.
Lilith Harris had conducted a study on Contract work and employment relation in
Jamie Professionals, technical and clerical personnel were more likely to be employed on
contract than other occupational categories. Among the main reasons for using contract labor
needed specialized skills, lower training costs, uncertainty as it relates to the success of the
business, fewer benefits, and higher productivity and better quality of work.
Longenecker et al (1988)has done a study on labor perception and attitudes. In this
study he postulates that performance appraisal will be effective to the extent that managers and
subordinates have a shared perception of its purpose and function and the degree to which it
meets the needs of both groups.
Marissa and Cannot (1988), has done the study on production function of employees
The heterogeneity of production factors, including labor inputs can therefore be taken into
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)
45/135
account and introduced the heterogeneity of labor across different socio-professional categories
in the production function to assess productivity differences between employees in French
industries. He distinguishing employees based on their participation in the capital of French
cooperatives and uses a Cobb-Douglas production function to assess productivity differentials
between membersstaff and non membersstaff of French cooperatives.
Malcomson, (1997), a study on the a long term contract and relations. Long-Term,
Incomplete and Self-Enforcing Implicit Contract When the motivation for an employment
contract is to regulate and divide the surplus of relation-specific investments, to ensure a certain
income stream, and to provide incentives to the workers to work hard through deferred forms of
pay, long-term employment relationships are in many instances conducive to economic
efficiency. Normally, long-term employment contracts are incomplete. A contract is incomplete
when it does not specify each partys obligations in every conceivable eventuality. The
employment contract might be incomplete if parties are not able to foresee all future
contingencies. If they envisage contingencies, it may just be too costly to write all those details
into the contract.
Minford, 1985 has made a study onLabour laws themselves are seen as an external
source of imperfections; they originate in decisions made in the political sphere and reflect rent-
seeking or distributional demands, by collective groups. Rent-seeking, as it is aimed at
redistribution rather than value creation, imposes a deadweight loss on the economy and so
constitutes a source of inefficiencies. Further inefficiencies arise from distortions in the operation
of the market which are induced by legal interferences with bargaining. Wage regulation (such as
minimum wage or pay equity legislation, or the taking of wages out of competition through
collective bargaining) depresses demand for labor.
Rangarajan (2006) has done a research inlabor intensive sectors in order to achieve
faster growth rate emphasis should be laid on labor intensive sectors by skill development of the
labor force and flexibility of labor laws. He also stressed on the fact that flexibility is not just
related to hire and fire strategy and that business units will have to function under legitimate
8/13/2019 Contract Labour Sasi(1)
46/135
restrictions. Flexibility in labor laws has also been advocated by the Planning Commission
Deputy Chairman Mr. Monte Singh Ahluwalia.
Rousseau (2001) has explained the labor relationship. However, the concept has much
longer and deeper pedigree, with its antecedents evident in earlier work on social exchange
theory. Central to this theory is that social relationships have always been comprised of
unspecified obligations and the distribution of unequal power resources
Shapiro and Stieglitz (1984), has done a research in contract labors wages and
incentives state in their shirking model that if all employers were to follow the strategy of
raising wages, then the incentive not to shirk again disappears; the worst that can happen to a
worker who shirks on the job is that he is fired, since he can be rehired (assuming there is no
unemployment) at the same high wage. But as all firms raise their wages, supply of labor would
exceed demand and unemployment would result. With unemployment, even if all firms pay the
same wages, a worker has an incentive not to shirk.
Srivastava, 1989 has made a study on Unfreeze labor relations. Some argued that
unreel wage labor reflects not only underdeveloped labor markets, but also conjoint exploitation
in interlocked markets and an incomplete transition to the capitalist mode of production. By
contrast, Brass (1990,1992,1997a)and Miles (1987)take an opposing view that unreel relations
are compatible with capitalism, comprising part of capitalists' assault on the autonomy and
wages of labor. Brass has argued that convict labor and indentured labor were subject to
capitalist exploitation.
Tailing (1996) hasconducted the study on the centralized labor unions and employer
organizations solution is to delegate the power to renegotiate to centralized labor unions and
employer organizations. Negotiations are then independent of the problems of the workplace and
specific investments do not influence the decisions. I n general the fear of opportunistic behavior
leads to wage rigidity in long term explicit contracts where specific human capital is present.
This argument is distinct from the argument for the existence of rigid long-term implicit labor

contracts as a means of bearing risk. The use of the employment contract as an insurance
contract will be discussed in the next section.
The Labor Code, (1952)explains that Labor market reform The Labor Code currently in
force in Cameroon is the result of a procedure which started since 1952, before independence.
From the Labor Code of 1952 to the Labor Code of 1974 after the code of 1952, instituted by
colonial authorities, law-makers successively promulgated other codes in 1967, 1974 and 1992.
The provisions of previous codes especially that of 1974, are rigid concerning labor contracts.
Initially, Article 30 subparagraphs 2 of the 1974 code provided that if the contract is concluded
for a limited duration, this duration cannot exceed two years. As for subparagraph 3, it laid out
that When the two-year period envisaged above is exceeded and employment continues beyond
such date, the fixed term contract becomes an open-ended contract...
Uzi and Zoe (1998)have done a research in the relationship between labor contract and
corporate performance. The first group of work focuses on the relationship between FTCs and
the minimization of labor costs by using the production cost function. In this logic, have showed
that the use of an ITC costs twice as much as using a FTC. Bentolila et al. (1994)indicate that
an increase by 1% of the proportion of temporary workers reduces labor costs of 0.64% in
private enterprises in the Italian manufacturing sector.
W. Bentley Macleod (June 2010) has issued the chapter on employment and labor
law. The goal of the study is to understand why every jurisdiction in the world has extensive
employment law, particularly employment protection law, while most economic analysis of the
law suggests that less employment protection would enhance welfare. He conclude that many
aspects of employment law are consistent with the economic theory of contract - namely, that
contracts are written and enforced to enhance ex ante match efficiency in the presence of
asymmetric information and relationship specific investments.
Zhang et al (2008) have found that high performance human resource practices are
positively related to corporate entrepreneurship (CE), and that this relationship is mediated by
the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of employees.

7. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be
understood as a science of studying how research is done scientifically. In it we study the various
steps that are generally adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem along with the
logic behind them.
RESEACH DESIGN:
A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data in amanner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure. It
constitutes the blue print for collection, measurement and analysis of data. The research
conducted is descriptive in nature.
NATURE OF RESEARCH:
The type of research used in this project is descriptive in nature. Descriptive research is
essentially a fact finding related largely to the present, abstracting generations by cross sectional
study of the current situation.
DATA COLLECTION METHOD:
PRIMARY DATA:
Primary data is the data collected for the first time through field survey. Therefore
primary data are those collected by the investigator (or researcher) himself for the first time and
thus they are original in character. The primary data are useful for knowing opinion, qualities
and attitudes of respondents. Primary data regarding the opinion and views of performance
appraisal system are collected through Structured Questionnaire Method.
