Organisation theory and the ethics of participation
Article Abstract:
Different organization paradigms are described and analyzed with respect to their normative prescriptions for employee participation in decision-making. Participation's positive results might be enhanced apparently by the acknowledgement of the social nature of humankind and the awareness of the existence of differentiated goals. It is suggested that participation be extended to include the definition of a shared value horizon.
