INTRODUCTION
THEORETICAL ISSUES
It can be seen from Fayol’s enumeration that the first four activities
pertained to material relations of production in industry-making and
industry maintenance. The sixth activity, for Fayol, pertained to human
relations of production in industry-making and industry maintenance.
The linkage between material relations of production and human
relations of production was sought to be achieved by Fayol (1957, 41)
by ensuring the security activities of the organization.
However, neither Taylor nor Weber, the other two classical theorists of
management, looked into security activities seriously. It is not that they
ignored, sidestepped or bypassed that question. It is possible to assume
that despite the importance of security activities having been
recognized by them, they would have bestowed more attention on the
important issue of managerial functionalism. Similarly, later
organizational schools of thought, human relations school, Decision
Making School, Systems School, Socio-Psychological School-had all
assumed the imperatives of security in industries and did not elaborate
on it (Gager 1960, 72-80). In Motivation and Personality, Abraham
Maslow (1954), hinted at the psychological dimension of security of an
individual as an industrial worker, but not upon the security of the
industry itself. Even the more recent advocates of development
dynamics and policy dynamics had not spent their time on the theme of
industrial security (George 1972).
In keeping with the objectives of the study, the primary data are
generated through responses from the personnel in management
and rank and file and from the personnel engaged in security duties
in four industrial undertakings located in and around Chennai
(Madras) to set structured questions from an interview schedule. The
interview schedule consisted of fourteen parts dealing with several
aspects of security arrangements available in those four industrial
undertakings. Data with regard to the attitudes of the security
personnel towards security management by the respective
management of the undertakings are also collected by way of
informal discussions. The data for the present study are also obtained
from officially published reports touching upon industrial security
aspects. In addition periodicals and records maintained by the
respective industrial undertakings are also consulted.
