Problem udziału pracowników w procesie planowania i zarządzania przedsiębiorstw

Abstract

The article analyzes participation of employees in management from the viewpoint of improvement of managerial functions, and especially optimization of decisions and control. On the basis of results afforded by questionnaire survey the author stresses the role played by managers in expanding participation of workers in management of the company. In the opinion of most interviewed participation in management depends on the attitude of managers and their authority. Effectiveness of this participation and its expansion, according to the author, is not an object of evaluation of managers by their superiors, and that is why participation continues to be only a general social norm, an accepted but not rewarded element of the social role performed by managers. Discussing the prospects of employees participation in management, the author stresses that employees wish also to participate in planning the company development, technical progress, improving working conditions perceiving here a chance for development of personality and growth of effectiveness.
