Abstract
Participative management has been growing area of investigation and debate by management practitioners and scholars over decades (Wagner III, 1994). Today in hypercompetitive world, organizations consider it as a mean to achieve responsiveness and competitive advantage (Guthrie, 2001).
This paper aims to resolve the question that whether participative approach to management pay off in terms of employee job satisfaction and performance.
Single questionnaire was used to collect data from sample size of 300 employees from 05 private banks of Islamabad/Rawalpindi. Simple Regression and correlation was calculated for exploring the causal association among variables where, employee performance and job satisfaction were dependent variable and participative management was independent variable.
The findings reveal positive relationship among participative management, employee job satisfaction and performance. Findings also do verify the existence of a highly strong connection among these variables.
The study has limitations which hold suggestions for future research including generalisability, one-shot study issue, and survey-only used for data collection. However, the study will benefit the organizations, employees and future researchers.
Key words: Participative management, job satisfaction, performance.
Introduction
Researchers have argued that today's organizations operate in hypercompetitive markets characterized by continuous technological change, shortened product life-cycles, and competitors who compete in aggressive ways (D'Aveni, 1998). Taking this argument a step further, some authors (e.g., David et al., 1995; Patria, 2001) specifically argue that participative management is one way in which organizations can achieve the responsiveness needed in a hypercompetitive world.
Initially, it appears that participative management may lead to high employee job satisfaction and it does seem eminently logical that a happy employee is a "better" employee which may perform well in the organization. However, thousands of studies have been carried out seeking to establish a positive and unmistakable correlation between participative management, employee job satisfaction and performance with nothing conclusive being proven. The unfortunate consequence of this lack of a clear cause and effect relationship, as Dogan (2009) notes, is that "when management discovers there is no guarantee of a one-to-one correlation between participative management, employee job satisfaction and performance interest usually wanes." The present research basically aims at resolving the question that "Does the participative approach to management pay off in terms of employee job satisfaction and performance?" Research results in this area would clarify the relationship.
Literature Review
Before examining the theoretical impact of participative management on employee job satisfaction and performance, a brief review of the extensive literature relating participation in decision making to satisfaction and performance is in order. Participative management has been a growing area of enquiry and debate ever since the seminal work by Lewin and his colleagues. Participative management has been called the "third managerial revolution" (Alutto & Acito, 1974). Scholars have noted that it has become a major social, political and economic issue throughout the world, in a variety of organizational environments (Vroom, 1960). Reportedly there has been a growing movement towards more "participative" management.
In today's intensely competitive global environment, there is a strong demand for workforce participation in organizational decision making to enhance individual performance enabling the achievement of higher productivity of an organization. One aspect of workforce participation is job satisfaction. Job satisfaction in general is defined as how many employees like or dislike their work and the extent to which their expectations concerning work have been fulfilled (Dogan, 2009).
