Abstract If the organization is to achieve its institutional objectives then there must exist a harmonious relationship between employers and employees because harmonious relation ensures industrial peace, avoid conflict, strike, lock out and increase company’s production. The readymade garment sector of Bangladesh is no exception. Good industrial relations serve the interests of both employers and employees, thereby benefiting society as a whole and the economy of the country as a whole. Good human relations create positive environment in which the worker’s work attitude and motivation develop. Such a good relationship must exist between the employer and the group of workers on the one hand and between the employer and individual workers on the other hand. The main objective of this study was to determine the factors either positively or negatively affecting industrial relations at the readymade garment sector in Bangladesh and how to improve from bad industrial relations. Since the study population was small, case study method was used. The information collected from the respondents in the study was done verbally during the institution visits. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results were briefly interpreted and hypotheses were formulated and presented using tables. The purpose of the study was to avoid negative factors and to establish positive factors that affect industrial relations at the readymade garments sector in Bangladesh. The results of the study found that the factor most positively affecting good industrial relations is economic security and satisfaction of workers which is created by the employer and increase productivity and profit for the company caused by worker’s efficiency. Other factors included rights of workers, conflict negotiating skills of employers and union representatives, presence of trade union, positive attitude of management and workers, and social and psychological satisfaction of both parties. The result also found that the major factor that negatively affects industrial relation was the absence of good wage structure and job insecurity of the workers and employer psychological dissatisfaction created by worker’s inattention and poor performance. Other factors included master-servant relationship, unfavorable working environment, political interference, corruption and nepotism, avoiding industrial laws and policies, and faulty supervision.
