| Abstract: | In an attempt to clarify the meaning of management style /MS/ in employee relations two dimensions of MS are identified. Individualism refers to the extent to which personnel policies are focused on the rights and capabilities of individual workers. Collectivism concerns the extent to which management policy is directed towards inhibiting or encouraging the development of collective voice in management decision-making. MS is a deliberate choice linked to business policy. Not all firms have a characteristic MS now, but it might be a strategic choice soon. |
