A study on the human resource management in match industry in kovilpatti taluk

Abstract

The achievement of target of any industry including match industry is based on many factors, which include human resource management. So, it is necessary to formulate an appropriate human resource policy to achieve the goals of an organization. Many organizations have failed to achieve their goals because of lack of proper management of human resources. The match industry is considered to be a vital one in many respects. It provides employment opportunities to many people and plays a main role in the day to day life of every human being. Though the production of match products are growing year after year in the country, especially in Kovilpatti Taluk areas, even now the majority of the match manufacturers are adopting traditional techniques in the production process, so that it provides employment opportunities to thousands of people in and around Kovilpatti. The match products produced by Kovilpatti Taluk areas are mainly marketed in rural areas of India where the majority of the Indian population is living. There are two categories of workers employed in the match units namely male and female workers. It is surprising that majority of the workers employed in the match units are female workers. The large number of match units in India in general and Kovilpatti Taluk in particular, are unorganized units and hence, no systematic policies are adopted in recruitment, selection, training and promotion of workers in the match units. newline
