The respect for the rights of employees in the private and public sectors: Evidence from a developing economy

Abstract

The right to work is a right enjoyed by every human being. International conventions and recommendations have been drawn up to ensure these rights, which include the regulation of all segments of the labor relationship (Binaku, 2021). The purpose of this study is to through an objective approach make a detailed description of the rights employed in the private and public sectors in the Republic of Kosovo, as a criterion of a fair and developed society. This paper also aims to highlight the rights of employees and the actions taken by the relevant institutions to guarantee transparency and accountability. This indicates a significant risk for employers, who do not respect the obligation taken (Diepold & Grosjean, 2022). For this purpose, we used random sampling techniques in the sample of 460 workers. Therefore, the analysis of these data consists of descriptive statistics. In conclusion, the results of this research imply the need to develop policies in terms of informing employees about their rights, since the respect of rights in these two sectors promotes a fair society, helps to reduce social differences, and contributes to the development of economic durability.
