PAM 3030 HUMAN RESOURCE AND LABOUR RELATIONS
Following the president’s directive
to effect a triple retirement age. Explain the major challenges that the human
resource department will face in implementing this new human resource policy.
The question of what the minimum statutory retirement
age should be has sparked debate in Zambia. This follows the announcement by
President Lungu that new government to increase the minimum pensionable age
from 55 years to 65 years. THE retirement age in Zambia is now 65. The law has
been stamped and it is now a legal standard, period. This means that all those
who were due to retire at age 55, which has been prevailing for the last
decades, will now continue working until they are 65 years old. The new minimum
state pensionable age would remain mandatory to the public and private sectors,
with all employees continuing to make their contributions to NAPSA through
their employers, as set out under existing legislation. Given the above
situation, this essay aims at discussing the challenges that the human resource
department will face in implementing this new human resource policy.
The
Government’s proposal appears to be based on the belief that increasing the
minimum state age of retirement is absolutely necessary because the current age
limit discriminates against those who are willing to work longer
(Kamwengo,2001). President Sata explicitly noted that “people still wanted to
continue working even after they had ….Read more.
Discuss the view that non-state
intervention in industrial relations is intervention in favor of capital.
The
role of the state in modern capitalist economies can hardly be ignored. Whether
through legislation, macro-economic policy or its role as an employer, the
presence of the state is pervasive. Zambia like many other developing countries
has developed an Industrial Relations System in which the state plays an active
role. As in other African Countries, the state through its most powerful
apparatus-Government have accepted and are applying the policies based on the
belief that the other parties in Industrial Relations System (workers and
Employers) cannot be left entirely to regulate all aspect of the work system.
It is against this backdrop that this paper argues against the statement that non-state intervention in industrial relation is intervention
in favor of capital.

Practically discuss Zambia's
decentralization policy to that of Uganda. In your view, which of the two is
more progressive than the other?
Conclusion
The purpose of this paper was to examine the
Zambia’s and Uganda’s decentralization. The Decentralisation policy in Zambia
has not performed to expected standards in the recent past compared to Uganda
which has developed a local government system based on the constitution
and an elaborate Local Governments Act. The local council structures described
in this paper are Uganda’s primary institutions for the promotion of good
governance, increased people’s participation and improved service delivery.
Most service delivery indicators show positive improvements. Thus, we conclude
that decentralization in Uganda has not only opened up opportunities for
empowerment of the people, but has also led to improvements in service delivery…….

NATIONAL GOVERRNRMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
Assignment One
Distinguish
between power and authority. Demonstrate how a high degree of Legitimacy can
make governance easier.
Many people often wonder what
difference is between power and authority. Power is often identified by people
who hold a particular office or position. For example, many would refer to the
President of the United States as a very powerful person. However, the
President does not have the authority to do as he or she wishes. Legislation
cannot be passed by the President just because he or she wants it. This paper
endeavors to distinguish power and authority and after this it shall
demonstrate how a high degree of legitimacy can make governance easier and
finally, conclusion will be drawn based on the discussion in the paper.
Barnard (2001: 51) defines power as,
“to the ability of a person or a group to influence the beliefs and actions of
other people.”………GET MORE OF THIS HERE
Assignment Two
Define Bureaucracy.
Using examples explain the application of the tenets of bureaucracy in modern
management and highlight its short coming.
This
paper will define Bureaucracy and by the use of practical examples it will
explain the application of the tenets of Bureaucracy in modern management and
will highlight its shortcomings.
Max
Weber was a German historian and sociologist (1864 – 1920) who played a major
role in the development of a system of organization called bureaucracy. He is
referred to as the father of bureaucracy. Bureaucracy emerged from problems
associated with big business enterprises and increasing complexity of
government operations. According to Weber, bureaucracy is an approach to
management by office or position rather than a person. Weber designed patterns
of relationships to guide complex organizational activities in a systematic
manner to fulfill the needs of clients. He…….READ MORE
Assignment Three
Using practical
examples, discuss the pros and cons of the unitary and federal system of government.
With pros and cons meaning ‘advantages’
or ‘merits’ and ‘disadvantages’ or ‘demerits’ (Longman dictionary, 2011: 703) respectively, it is the
aim of this task to discuss these two models. It will begin by discussing the
unitary system and then the federal system will follow while providing key
definitions to the models. A case reference to Zambia and Nigeria shall be
adhered to as required while notable current examples in any of the countries
shall be cited. In each system discussion, the merits and demerits will be
forwarded and a conclusive understanding or view will give it an end.
The Unitary System
The term unitary stems from the word ‘unit’ which means ‘one part of
something, that is whole or complete in itself but is also part of the bigger
part’ (Longman dictionary, 2008: 975).
Since a government system does not only encompass the mechanism of government…..READ MORE
