Strategy development processes and participation in decision making: predictors of role stressors and job satisfaction

Article Abstract:

The implementation of a participative approach to organizational decision making offers opportunities for enhancing the level of job satisfaction among employees. Results gathered from an analysis involving middle- and high- level executives in 40 organizations proved that participative decision making (PDM) forms a direct linear relationship with job satisfaction, regardless of the type of strategy development process adopted. However, PDM was shown to generate a negative impact on role ambiguity and role conflict, highlighting the potential benefits of using PDM in reducing work-related stressors.
