Differing perceptions of participative management between differing levels of management at Makro South Africa22 September 2015 (has links)
M.Com. / Participative management has been hailed as the strategic choice to overcoming problems at the workplace. It has become a buzzword for management in the 1980s, and yet has not become entrenched far enough in South Africa to say that participative management practice is, and has been a success ...

Beyond the stakeholder paradox : to meaningful consultation with community stakeholdersMcCandless, Kaisa M. January 2002 (has links)
This thesis argues that the stakeholder paradox (Goodpaster, 1991) has hindered the achievement of meaningful consultation processes because it perpetuates a management-centered discourse of stakeholder engagement aimed at producing stakeholder consent and legitimating organizational action. In order to advance beyond the use of stakeholder consultation as a sophisticated public relations tool, and instrument of organizational power and persuasion, it must be treated as a series of activities (discussion, deliberation and decision making) linked together through the common modality of negotiative communication. / An analysis of practice guidelines, protocols and key informant interviews using a critical organizational communication approach evaluates the extent to which contemporary instances of consultation practice account for the specificity of stakeholder context, address power and capacity gaps between consulting organizations, and enables all stakeholders to engage in a negotiative dialogue that has a direct influence upon the decision-making process of a project. This thesis argues that operationalizing tenets of a critical communication framework within consultation practice has the potential to produce the conditions for conducting a meaningful consultation with community stakeholders.

The perceptions of management and workers on worker participation programmes.Mokgoro, Ellen Moakohi. January 1995 (has links)
The main objective of this study was to investigate
different forms of worker participation programmes and their
implementation in selected countries including South
Africa. Another objective was to study perceptions of
managers and workers on forms of participation at two mining
companies in South Africa, namely Vaal Reefs and Ergo Mines.
The two mines were selected because they had dissimilar
characteristics which would affect attitudes differently.
Vaal Reefs Mine had a well established trade union movement
whereas Ergo Mine was not very strongly unionised.
The study focused on a comparison between the attitudes of
managers and supervisors toward worker participation, at
both mines. At Ergo Mine there was no statistically
significant difference between the mean scores of managers
and supervisors on a large number of variables which was not
the case at Vaal Reefs Mine. The results seem to indicate
that at Vaal Reefs, supervisors tended to identify with
workers on the shop-floor. Workers at Ergo Mine seemed to
prefer direct forms of participation whereas the workers at
Vaal Reefs Mine seemed to want to participate in management
decision through trade union representation and other forms
of indirect participation.
The main conclusion was that the form of worker
participation in a particular environment depends to a large
extent, on historical and prevailing conditions. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Durban-Westville, 1995.

The effect of organisational differences in ownership, control and structure on employee perceptions of participation and empowerment : an analysis of these phenomena in relation to the operational costs of two labour intensive South African companies.Simpson, Gary Owen. January 2007 (has links)
This study investigates the relationships between ownership, control, organisational
structure and company operational costs. The workers’ perceptions of participation
(financial and decision-making) and empowerment are measured between two labour
intensive factories with different ownership structures.
The first factory (Kopano) has a workforce that shares equity ownership, or holds
proprietary title. It is significant to note that the Kopano workers share in the ownership
of the manufacturing section only, and not the upstream activities (mining, etc.), nor the
downstream activities (despatch, selling, marketing, etc.). Accordingly, the Kopano
owner-workers concentrate on manufacturing only.
Employees at the second factory (Lawley) have no equity stake; they do not hold
proprietary title and are “normal” salaried employees.
The hypotheses seek to identify differences between the two factories, relative to the
worker’s sense of participation (financial and decision-making) and empowerment. The
rationale is that the workers who hold proprietary title (Kopano) should have a greater
sense of financial participation, decision-making participation and empowerment than the
workers (Lawley) who do not hold proprietary title. This is tested via questionnaires at
both factories and the results obtained strongly support the hypotheses.
Given the abovementioned findings, the study then seeks to establish that there will be
greater savings in operational costs at Kopano factory (where the workers hold equity
title) compared to Lawley (where the workers are not involved in ownership
participation). The rationale behind this hypothesis is that operational costs at Kopano
should be lower than the operational costs at Lawley (because of the different ownership
positions). An analysis of operational costs between factories supports this argument.
The study finally seeks to establish a strong balance of probability that the results
obtained are because of the different ownership structures. This is confirmed using
Mill’s Method of Difference. However, identified weaknesses with this analytical tool
suggest that conclusive declaration to this end be the subject of future research. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2007.

Workers' participation and the French state, 1944-1948Steinhouse, Adam January 1999 (has links)
This thesis explores attempts by state officials to enable workers and the principal trade union, the Confédération Générate du Travail, to participate at the workplace and in the French state from 1944 to 1948. At a time of increased state intervention and new social welfare policies, workers gained new responsibilities in the comités d'entreprises, or works councils. The regional government, the commissaires, helped to initiate worker control experiments, notably at the Berliet truck plant in Lyon. By the end of 1948, however, the strength of the French labour movement had not significantly increased, either at the workplace or in the state. In their demand for greater participation, workers faced resistance from state officials, employers and even unions. State actors, such as labour inspectors, prefects, and commissaires, actively sought social peace and greater productivity in 1944-1946. At the level of the shopfloor, the new comités d'entreprises gave workers, for the first time, an official voice in the firm. However, they had no say over production decisions. Nor did worker participation extend to unskilled workers, immigrants, or women. Worker participation did not go further at the time for three reasons. Employers intensified rationalisation measures at the workplace and refused to accept new powers given to the works councils. The CGT was insufficiently committed to workplace participation. Finally, the power of the centralised state was entrenched in the domain of economic planning but did not influence the workplace sufficiently to support participation, particularly in 1946-1948. The postwar settlement that led to increased growth in the 1950s was structured around the private sector and the planning capabilities of the state, at the expense of any involvement by labour. The exclusion of workers from planning decisions and the failure of worker control attempts led not only to the strikes of 1947-1948, but to a profound degree of powerlessness that was to mark the labour movement for the next generation.
