Perspectives on the implementation of participative approaches
Article Abstract:
The conditions needed to successfully implement a participative management program are discussed. The three parameters for implementing a participative management program are: the issues to be addressed by the program, the processes that the workers will be involved in, and the degree of participation by the workers. Human resources (HR) departments must provide the impetus and the initial skills transfer to establish the program, but successful participative programs must eventually be seen as line programs, rather than as HR programs.

Proactive human resource management
Article Abstract:
A model is offered for anticipating and responding to businesses' personnel management needs. The model gives ways to assess both internal and external fit. The model and its use stem from research performed in 30 organizations ranging in size from 2,000 to 30,000 workers, and varying in industrial grouping from consumer products to financial services. In-depth case studies are offered for four organizations as a way of developing and demonstrating application of the model.
