Participative Management: Concepts, Theory and Implementation.
Williams, Ervin
This book brings together in one source, basic participative management theory, a broad range of research on the subject, and a number of methods and techniques to assist the practitioner in implementing participative management. Three sections included are (1) Concepts and Theory, (2) Research Studies, and (3) Practice and Implementation. Focus is on examining the assumption that behavior exhibited by the participative manager will yield high productivity and increased worker satisfaction, and on determining to what extent and under what conditions this is true. Featured in the book are 19 selected working papers which analyze the development and use of participative management techniques in various types of organizations. (TA)
