What is Participative Management?
The preceding are examples of participative management. The common thread through these examples is joint decision making. That is, subordinates actually share a significant degree of decision-making power with their immediate superiors. But in actual practice, participative management is an umbrella term that encompasses such varied activities as goal setting, problem solving, direct involvement in work decisions, inclusion in consultation committees, representation on policy-making bodies, and selecting new co-workers.
Participative management has, at times, been promoted as a panacea for poor morale and low productivity. One author has even argued that participative management is an ethical imperative. But participative management is not appropriate for every organization or every work unit. For it to work, there must be adequate time to participate, the issues in which employees get involved must be relevant to their interests, employees must have the ability (intelligence, technical knowledge, communication skills) to participate, and the organization’s culture must support employee involvement.
