What is participatory management?

Participation in management refers to letting employees and subordinates participate in the decision-making process and management at all levels of the organization to varying degrees, so that subordinates and employees and senior managers of enterprises are in an equal position, jointly study and discuss major issues in the organization, feel the trust of superiors, and thus experience that their own interests are closely related to organizational development and have a strong sense of responsibility;

At the same time, participating in management provides employees with an opportunity to gain the attention of others, thus giving people a sense of accomplishment. Employees are motivated because they can participate in discussing issues related to them. Participating in management can not only motivate individuals, but also ensure the realization of organizational goals.
