The two dominant aspects of industrial relations scene in the modern industrial society are covered in which one of the following?
Conflict and cooperation
Concept: Industrial relations rest on two fundamental, ever-present tendencies - conflict, born of clashing interests, and cooperation, born of shared dependence - and every industrial setting shows a mix of the two.
Industrial relations describe the ongoing relationship between employers and workers, and the question asks for its two dominant, defining aspects. That relationship swings between two poles: conflict, when the interests of labour and management clash (leading to disputes, strikes and lockouts), and cooperation, when the two sides work together for common goals. Together, conflict and cooperation capture the whole industrial-relations scene.
Example: Workers and management may cooperate to raise output and share the gains, yet also conflict over how those gains are divided in wages - both aspects coexist in the same workplace.
Option check: Conciliation and codetermination are particular mechanisms or arrangements, not the two broad, dominant aspects; each option pairing conciliation (options 1 and 2) or codetermination (option 4) leaves out one of the two fundamental poles.
Hence the two dominant aspects are conflict and cooperation.
