Document Summary

Employee involvement and participation is something that uses the input of employees to increase their commitment to the success of the organization. If workers are engaged in decisions increasing their control and autonomy over their lives at work, they will be more motivated, committed, productive, and satisfied. These benefits lead to teams too because they are given more control over their work. To be successful, these programs have to be tailored to norms on a local and national level. Two major forms of employee involvement: participative management, representative participation. Joint decision making is common in these management programs. With this, subordinates share a lot of the power in decision making with their superiors. This can happen through formal processes with briefings or surveys. This can happen through informal processes as well through daily consultations to enhance motivation through commitment and trust. Evidence shows this reduces negative effects coming from job insecurity on satisfaction and intentions to turnover.
