Participation and Empowerment in Organizations

Description:

"This book integrates the various facts, theories, and applications concerning participation and empowerment in organizational settings. Through the extensive use of graphs and tables, the book traces the origins of worker participation in management and decision making, examines the repertoire of empowerment and participatory techniques as applied throughout the world, and assesses, by means of empirical evidence, which techniques work best. Participation and empowerment are discussed in relationship to other current issues in management and organizational research including leadership, goal setting, problem solving, and cultural differences that may need to be considered in a global economic environment."--BOOK JACKET.
