No easy roads to employee involvement

Article Abstract:

The participation of employees in organizational management, particularly manufacturing strategies such as total quality management and just-in-time systems, involves role orientation, strategic orientation and job autonomy. Some researchers establish that training is important in developing strategic and role orientation although other researchers believe that training alone is inadequate. There is a direct relationship between role orientation and job autonomy and its implication is vital in empowering employees resulting to enhanced implementation of manufacturing processes.
