The Impact of Trade Unions on Employee Performance in Cameroon: Teachers’ and Drivers’ Unions Cases

Öz

The intention of this research is to examine the impact of trade unionism on employee performance in Cameroon. The teachers and the drivers trade unions are selected as the scope of the study. Both quantitative and qualitative data are collected with questionnaires and structured interviews. Categorical data was analysed as proportions and frequencies and the relationship between categorical variables was assessed using Chi-Square test. The findings revealed by the study evidently show that trade unions play a vital role in employee-performance in Cameroon. It is revealed in this research that, the key reason teachers and drivers joined trade unions in Cameroon is for the protection of workers’ rights. The main strategies used by trade unions are organising, collective bargaining, alliance building and action. It was also revealed that trade unions have as core mandates, the promotion and protection of the rights and the socioeconomic interest of their members. Therefore, as a recommendation, Trade Unions should stay away from confrontation with employers and make negotiations for collective bargaining. Also, employers should provide upskilling and training opportunities to their employees as this improves employee-performance. Conclusively, Teachers and Drivers’ Trade Unions in Cameroon should set as its top priority, the protection of workers’ rights and promotion of their socio-economic interests.
