Abstraction ( 23minutes). Discussion
Participation of workers in decision-making process has resulted in
successful value creation in many organizations. There are a number of
ways through which employees can participate in decision-making process

3. of any organization.
 Participation at the Board Level: Representation of employees at
the board level is known as industrial democracy. This can play an
important role in protecting the interests of employees. The
representative can put all the problems and issues of the employees
in front of management and guide the board members to invest in
employee benefit schemes.
 Participation through Ownership: The other way of ensuring
workers’ participation in organizational decision making is making
them shareholders of the company. Inducing them to buy equity
shares, advancing loans, giving financial assistance to enable them
to buy equity shares are some of the ways to keep them involved in
decision-making.
 Participation through Collective Bargaining: This refers to the
participation of workers through collective agreements and by
deciding and following certain rules and regulations. This is
considered as an ideal way to ensure employee participation in
managerial processes. It should be well controlled otherwise each
party tries to take an advantage of the other.
 Participation through Suggestion Schemes: Encouraging your
employees to come up with unique ideas can work wonders
especially on matters such as cost cutting, waste management,
safety measures, reward system, etc. Developing a full-fledged
procedure can add value to the organizational functions and create a
healthy environment and work culture. For instance, Satyam is
known to have introduced an amazing country-wide suggestion
scheme, the Idea Junction. It receives over 5,000 ideas per year
from its employees and company accepts almost one-fifth of them.
 Participation through Complete Control: This is called the
system of self management where workers union acts as
management. Through elected boards, they acquire full control of
the management. In this style, workers directly deal with all aspects
of management or industrial issues through their representatives.
 Participation through Job Enrichment: Expanding the job
content and adding additional motivators and rewards to the
existing job profile is a fine way to keep workers involved in
managerial decision-making. Job enrichment offers freedom to
employees to exploit their wisdom and use their judgment while
handling day-to-day business problems.
 Participation through Quality Circles: A quality circle is a group
of five to ten people who are experts in a particular work area. They
meet regularly to identify, analyze and solve the problems arising in
their area of operation. Anyone, from the organization, who is an
expert of that particular field, can become its member. It is an ideal
way to identify the problem areas and work upon them to improve
working conditions of the organization.
Employees can participate in organizational decision making through
various processes mentioned above. However, there are other ways such as
financial participation, Total Quality Management, participation through
empowered teams and joint committees and councils through which they
can contribute their share in making the organizations a better place to
work.
Application ( 5 minutes). Summarize the topics presented by asking all the students.
