Employee management is the most important job that managers do for the growth of an organization. Managers in the manufacturing sector are faced with increasing challenges. The span of control of these managers continues to grow, while the demand for customer satisfaction is also on the rise. With more employees to manage and greater the demands on performance, the managers can easily feel restricted in their ability to develop relationships with the employees on the dyad-level. An attempt has been made to identify the opinion of the managers on the attributes of managing employees at workplace in various manufacturing industries. For the purpose of this analysis, the chosen variables were classified into two important strata Viz., dependent variable and independent variables. The opinion of the managers on attributes of managing employees was taken as the dependent variable. The independent variables used in the study was nature of organization. Two-way table and chi-square analysis were employed. Eleven main factors were identified and 5 point scaling technique was employed which was grouped under 3 levels. The details of the study are presented in the results and discussions. It is found from the analysis that all the dimensions are influenced in an average level in the industries like paper, textile and other group of industries. These practices can be followed to manage and develop the employees, which in turn will improve the productivity.
