The human relations in an industry can be justified on the following grounds:
(1) Economic and Good production—Human relation is the most pervading force which needs for the success or failure of the organisation. Machines, adequate finance, better quality of raw materials are all necessary for accelerating production but human being, too, is necessary to process the materials, man the machines and control the methods. Industry is not composed of machines, finance or materials only. Without the efforts of human beings all are nothing.
(2) Moral Justification—Workers are human beings and therefore they must be given a humanly treatment. This justification, which is rather more fundamental, rests on moral ground. Being a human being, he is entitled to certain human rights. They should be treated with the same respect for their dignity that any other human being can claim.
(3) Place of human relations in industry—The place of human relations in industry and business cannot be over emphasised. For better industrial relations, good human relations are necessary. Efficiency and ability of workers much depend upon the human relations. The will to work is something different from the capacity to work. Both ability and will to work are nee led.
(4) Wider Scope—The importance of human relation is not only for the production units but other sphere of life require good human relations. It is not a technical problem, it is human, social or moral problem and humanity should be developed technically.
(5) Development of Trade Unionism and Government Stress—In modern times the trade union movement is quite organised and there are trade unions in almost all industrial undertakings. Further, the Government is also interfering in the industrial life to protect the workers. Due lo strong trade unionism and government's interference in the field of industrial relations, the management cannot afford to ignore the workers, their needs and their grievance. Therefore, human relations approach is important to meet the requirements of trade unions and the Government.
