Identify the differences between the two theories of management rights. Discuss reasons why they are poles apart in determining whether management has responsibilities other than to maximize its managerial authority.
The two theories of management rights are the residual or reserved rights view and the shared rights view. In the residual or reserved rights view management can control its business as it wishes within the limits of existing legislation and collective bargaining agreements. Ultimately, legislation and collective bargaining agreements determine what management may not do- and if not limited, management may do as it wishes. In the shared rights view, management rights are (as the title suggests) shared: both labor and management forgo rights in order for greater organization success. In this manner, the workers give up the right to stop working and improvise rules and management gives up the right to complete work however it sees fit. The rights for both workers and management are derived from the collective bargaining agreement. The reason the two theories are poles apart in determining management responsibility has to do with property rights: in private sector, management is more likely to feel ownership of operation, and thus favor residual or reserved rights. Management has obligations to labor, and it should not be placed in an inferior position, according to those favoring shared rights. Also, those favoring shared rights point out the rights labor has in the operation of the company (which impacts managerial authority).
