WORKER'S PARTICIPATE MANAGEMENT


WORKER'S  PARTICIPATE  MANAGEMENT

        Participative management offers all employees opportunities to contribute to workplace policies and decisions that achieve business goals while promoting career satisfaction. As opposed to an autocratic management style, where the manager assumes operational control and makes all the decisions unilaterally, a participative manager asks for input from team members and considers all opinions to find workable solutions to business problems and implement them to meet deadlines. As a result, employees feel more valued and often work harder on behalf of their employers under this style of management.

According to Gosep WPM as “a humanitarian act, elevating the status of a worker in the society and an ideological way of developing self-management and promoting industrial democracy.”

      In the words of T. Aspengren, “industrial democracy means that workers and employers should feel that their work they will be evaluated and respected as free persons of equal value within the framework of the rules and natural order and discipline that will always be needed and in a well regulated industry. In an atmosphere of cooperation, mutual respect and tolerance, they should have the natural right to influence condition and measure that affect them directly and the whole community inside the undertaking.”

According to International Institute of Labour Studies, “The participation results from practices which increase the scope of the employees share of influence in decision making at different tiers of the organizational hierarchy with concomitant assumption of responsibility.”


A participative management style offers various benefits at all levels of the organization. By creating a sense of ownership in the company, participative management instills a sense of pride and motivates employees to increase productivity in order to achieve their goals. Employees who participate in the decisions of the company feel like they are a part of a team with a common goal, and find their sense of self-esteem and creative fulfillment heightened. The term ‘participation’ is variously understood by involved parties. Managers generally interpret is merely as joint consultation prior to decision-making. This is a very narrow view of term participation.

Mintzberg’s Modes of Strategic Decision-Making

  Mintzberg’s Modes of Strategic Decision-Making 1. Entrepreneurial Mode: Strategy is made by one powerful individual who has entrepreneurial competencies like innovation and risk-taking. The focus is on opportunities. Problems are secondary. Generally, the founder is the entrepreneur, and the strategy is guided by his or her own vision of direction and is exemplified by bold decisions. 2. Adaptive Mode: Sometimes referred to as “muddling through,” this decision-making model is characterized by reactive solutions to existing problems, rather than a proactive search for new opportunities. Much bargaining goes on concerning priorities of objectives. The strategy is fragmented and is developed to move the corporation forward incrementally. 3.

What Are Best Practices

  What Are Best Practices?             Best practices are a set of guidelines, ethics, or ideas that represent the most efficient or prudent course of action, in a given business situation. Best practices may be established by authorities, such as regulators or governing bodies, or they may be internally decreed by a company's management team.             “A best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to any alternatives because it produces results that are superior to those achieved by other means, or because it has become a standard way of doing things, e.g., a standard way of complying with legal or ethical requirements.
