Industrial peace is indispensable for the smooth functioning of an organization. Active presence of harmonious and good Industrial Relations IR generating amity and goodwill between the partners in an industry can only bring in industrial peace. Managers are becoming more and more disappointed with the conventional IR policies, which are usually stagnant and are based on safety of law, caution, and fear for unions.

For this permanent solution with a long-term perspective, industries should comprehend Organization Culture OC and must take adequate measures to fine-tune it to optimize IR. In the present study, an attempt has been made to probe how during the period of 2008-2011, organization culture could be the predictor of industrial relations.
