Abstract
Social relationship is one of the basic features of human beings. This is so because
of the fact that life could not be convenient without living with fellow human beings in the
society. However, it is important to note that social relationship has basic processes in which if
not balanced could lead to social conflict. This is evident in all human social settings especially
the industrial settings; the process of relationship between the employees and employers is
usually referred to as employment relationship. Employment relationship is the communication
that takes place between the representatives of employees and employers on the issue of work
relations. Balanced employment relationship is indispensable to the stability of any industrial
organizations; it also facilitates the growth and development of industries in any country. The
maintenance of a good human relationship is the main theme of industrial relations because its
absence may cause the whole organizational structure to crumble. Years back, efforts exerted
by employees, employers and their representatives as well as government to balance
employment relations have not yielded much results and most often resulted into various
industrial conflicts which have caused lots of setbacks to industrial development in the country.
It is against this background that attempt is made in this paper to examine the role of balanced
employee and employer relationship in the development of industries in Nigeria.
