The continued restless among employees at various gold mines in the midlands province has resulted in productivity levels dwindling. There has been increased labour turnover by employees as well as increased union representation to management. Questionnaire were used to collect data. In this article a population of one thousand employees was used. A sample of two hundred employees was selected across the board. The results of the study indicate positive relationships between collective bargaining and job satisfaction among the employees in the Zimbabwean gold mining sector. Implications of these results are that the human resource interventions are required in order to create an environment in which employees can freely engage in collective bargaining. Furthermore, the results indicate that collective bargaining engenders intrinsic motivation and above all allows for the protection of employee's rights and welfare as well as promoting industrial democracy. This study recommends that managers should guard against preventing or obstructing employees from seeking legal redress to protect their interest. In addition, labour officers should be given the right of reasonable access to workers during working hours at their organisations for the purposes of advising the workers on the law. The employees should be given a latitude to belong to a trade union and or workers committee.

The mining industry in Zimbabwe has been extensively affected by the loss of key personnel in key areas such as engineering, metallurgy and geology among others. The loss of such vital employees in the mining sector has had a negative impact on output and consequently loss of the much-needed revenue to the Zimbabwean economy. It is against this background that there is need to establish the establish the effect of training and development on employee attraction and retention in the mining sector. The quantitative method research was employed in this study. An interview guide was used to collect data during consultative meetings and semi-structured interview platforms. The purposive sampling technique was employed in this study. The main findings were poor employee motivation due to the failure to train and develop personnel but poor leadership style being employed, lack of employee ascension to higher levels within the organisation. This study recommends that managers in the Zimbabwe mining sector should strive to train their employees so that their skills remain current as well as developing employees in a bid to expose them to perform additional duties and assume positions of importance in the organisational hierarchy.

The mining industry in Zimbabwe has been extensively affected by the loss of key personnel in key areas such as engineering, metallurgy and geology among others. The loss of such vital employees in the mining sector has had a negative impact on output and consequently loss of the much-needed revenue to the Zimbabwean economy. It is against this background that there was a need to establish the effect of leadership style on employee commitment in an endeavour to enhance job satisfaction. A quantitative approach was adopted in which convenience sampling was employed. The main findings were that charismatic and inspirational leadership style has moderate to strong positive relationship with subordinate affective commitment to the organisation. Inspirational motivation had a moderate positive correlation with affective commitment significant at (r = 0.46; p < 0.05) and Intellectual stimulation was found to have a strong correlation with affective commitment, significant at (r = 0.67; p < 0.05). Laissez faire leadership style displayed a very weak negative correlation between management by exception active with affective commitment, significant at (r = −0.012; p < 0.05). This study recommends that managers in the Zimbabwe mining sector should strive to use inspirational approaches in leading and involve employees in decision-making so as to raise the standards of efficiency and effectiveness of an organization and increase follower commitment.
