M.A. (Industrial Psychology) / Participative management is a growing trend worldwide and Is especially in South Africa driven by the spirit of democracy. Although South Africa has moved towards a democratic political dispensation, the establishment of democracy In the Workplace has been left behind. From Available literature It is clear that worker participation is a movement that has not developed systematically but has been influenced by diverse forms of Initiative from different countries. The diversity has led to general confusion in the discussion of worker participation In South Africa. In the said literature the concept of participation is approached on the assumption that the style of managing work relationships is conditioned by the culture of the organisation. On this basis an effective management style will be the most powerful Instrument at the disposal of management to steer South Africa away from the present abyss of Industrial conflict and low productivity.
