The document discusses workers participation in management. It evolved from ideas by thinkers like Comte, Owen, and Marx who believed workers should have self-governance and control over their work. Researchers later established it as a formal committee practice in countries like England, West Germany, and France. In India, Gandhi advocated for it in the 1920s and an act was passed in 1947 allowing labor contribution in organizational matters. The scope of workers participation includes sharing information, decision making, control, and improving productivity, commitment, and creativity. Potential benefits include increased productivity and efficiency, industrial peace, democracy, and well-being while risks include inactive unions, suspicion, and potential anarchy.
