| Abstract: | Despite considerable awareness about various forms and meanings of participative decision-making (PDM), there is less agreement on the causes of variation in PDM. This article argues that among other exogenous (e.g. sociopolitical, legal, historical) forces, the socio-cultural context plays an important role in the observed differences among PDM approaches and practices across nations. Similarly, subcultures and organizational cultures may influence PDM within nations. Two cultural dimensions: individualism-collectivism and power distance, are linked with four widespread employee participation approaches: face-to-face PDM, collective PDM, pseudo-PDM, and paternalistic PDM. The attributes of each PDM form, incl. the cultural determinants, underlying beliefs, the types of decisions made, and the relationship btw. specified form and other PDM meanings are elaborated. |
