Answer:
Employee involvement programs are a way to increase workers'
control and autonomy to improve their motivation, organizational commitment,
productivity, and job satisfaction. Examples of involvement programs include
participative management, representative participation, and quality circles.
Participative management programs use joint decision making as a strategy to
improve employee performance. Representative participation programs, widely
required by law in Western Europe, provide for worker representation in company
decision making.
The two most common implementations of representative participation are work councils and board representatives. Quality circles, another form of employee involvement, are work groups of eight to ten employees and supervisors who have a shared area of responsibility. They meet regularly to discuss their quality problems, investigate causes of the problems, recommend solutions, and take corrective actions.
