Abstract

Grievance represents the formal complaint of employees on one or more organizational issues and their management due to employee welfare. In line with this, when a company fails to meet these expectations, employees may file a grievance. This study analyzed different styles of grievance handling management with their effectiveness at the factory level, including an empirical evaluation. A total of 265 samples were investigated in this research, and the data were analyzed using structural equation modelling in Smart-PLS second-generation software to reveal the results. Based on the results of the study, all determinants proved effective, but the collaboration style is the most effective for grievance management. The research is expected to help EPZ stakeholders in Bangladesh manage workers' grievances effectively and maintain harmonious relationships between employers and employees. Moreover, the research will assist further studies in industrial relations.
