Organizational Participation: Myth and Reality

Team-working, partnership, quality circles, works councils, industrial democracy--are they distinct and innovative arrangements or is it a case of new wine in old bottles? In the post-war period we have seen numerous forms of organizational participation sometimes as experiments, sometimes as negotiated expediency, and sometimes as hype. Different ideas have emerged from different parts of the world, in different industries, at different times with different objectives. In this book, four experienced international analysts take the longer view and look at the changing forms of--and changing debates around--organizational participation. They review an extensive literature of experiments and practical experiences through a critical evaluation of the available data to reach balanced conclusions about the importance and utility of this concept for organizations now and in the future.

This book is designed for prospective general managers more than for human resources specialists although it can be used as the text for an introductory course in a human resources management sequence. Our text is directed to the general manager who must integrate HRM policies with other organizational policies. Thus we distinguish between what some call "high commitment" and "traditional" overall organizational policies and relate specific HRM policies (such as compensation) to these. Therefore our emphasis is on policy. But human resources policy can't develop in isolation. It should be consistent with the organization's overall strategy - its approach to marketing, finance, and production. Further it is developed and applied in a social, political, and economic context. Consequently our introductory chapters focus on fundamental environmental changes such as the changing makeup of America's labor force, the possible impact of computers and the "information superhighway," the rapid downsizing of large corporations, and the growing numbers of contingent (part-time, temporary, and subcontracted) employees. Other sections examine the influence of the women's movement, the new demand for individual job rights, and changing government equal employment policies. Perhaps more than most texts, this one is concerned with the legal and the societal context of human resources policies.
