![Page 4: Chapter 8 & 9: Empowerment and Participation & Employee Attitudes and their Effects](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012308/58ea17741a28ab064e8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
EMPOWERMENT
Is any process that provides greater autonomy to employees through the sharing of relevant information and the provision of control over factors affecting job performance
![Page 5: Chapter 8 & 9: Empowerment and Participation & Employee Attitudes and their Effects](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012308/58ea17741a28ab064e8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Five Broad Approaches to Empowerment
1. Helping employees achieve job mastery (giving proper training, coaching, and guided experience that will result in initial successes)
2. Allowing more control (giving them discretion over job performance and then holding them accountable for outcomes)
![Page 6: Chapter 8 & 9: Empowerment and Participation & Employee Attitudes and their Effects](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012308/58ea17741a28ab064e8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3. Providing successful role models (allowing them to observe peers who already perform successfully on the job)
4. Social reinforcement and persuasion (giving praise, encouragement, and verbal feedback designed to raise self-confidence)
5. Giving emotional support (providing reduction of stress and anxiety through better role definition, task assistance, and honest caring)

PARTICIPATION
• is the mental and emotional involvement of people in group situations that encourages them to contribute to group goals and share responsibility for them.
![Page 11: Chapter 8 & 9: Empowerment and Participation & Employee Attitudes and their Effects](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012308/58ea17741a28ab064e8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Elements in Participation1. Involvement- participation means
meaningful involvement rather than mere muscular activity
2. Motivation to contribute- participation empowers people to release their own resources of initiative and creativity toward the objectives of the organization
3. Acceptance of Responsibility- participation encourages people to accept responsibility in their group’s activities.
![Page 12: Chapter 8 & 9: Empowerment and Participation & Employee Attitudes and their Effects](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012308/58ea17741a28ab064e8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Participative Process
![Page 13: Chapter 8 & 9: Empowerment and Participation & Employee Attitudes and their Effects](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012308/58ea17741a28ab064e8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prerequisites for Participation1. Adequate time to participate2. Potential benefits greater than costs3. Relevance to employee interests4. Adequate employee abilities to deal with the
subject5. Mutual ability to communicate6. No feeling of threat to either party7. Restriction to the area of job freedom- which is
the area of discretion after all restraints have been applied.
![Page 14: Chapter 8 & 9: Empowerment and Participation & Employee Attitudes and their Effects](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012308/58ea17741a28ab064e8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Programs for Participation
• Suggestion programs- are formal plans to invite individual employees to recommend work improvements.
• Quality circles- voluntary groups that receive training in statistical techniques and problem-solving skills and then meet to produce ideas for improving productivity and working conditions.
![Page 15: Chapter 8 & 9: Empowerment and Participation & Employee Attitudes and their Effects](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012308/58ea17741a28ab064e8b5ebd/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Total quality management- this approach gets every employee involved in the process of searching for continuous improvements in their operations.
• Self-managing teams- are natural work groups that are given a large degree of decision-making autonomy; they are expected to control their own behaviour and results.
• Employee ownership plans- this emerges when employees provide the capital to purchase control of an existing operation.
