Employee involvement and the middle manager: evidence from a survey of organizations
Article Abstract:
Employee involvement tends to be low in organizations where middle management resistance exists. Middle managers create resisting attitude towards employee involvement due to the risk of losing their self interest, such as delayering and loss of managerial position. The existence of such condition is being attributed not only due to individual attitudes and beliefs but mainly to system failures present within the organization.
