Staff participation in organizational decision-making: an empirical study
Abstract
There is a considerable amount of literature advocating participatory forms of decision making in human service organizations. There is, however, little empirical research documenting the extent to which participatory decision making is currently practiced in social service or health care settings. The study reviews key issues in conceptualizing participatory decision making, describes the development of a scale designed to measure the level of staff participation in organizational decisions common to human service agencies, and reports the findings of a study of staff participation in organizational decision making in a stratified random sample of 15 Planned Parenthood Affiliates.
