| dc.description.abstract | A research of current literature on the subject of employee involvement and participative management was carried out. Human resource consulting firms specializing in employee involvement programs for utilities were solicited for data and information. Telephone contacts, personal interviews, and solicitation of printed information were made to several large utilities that presently have employee involvement programs in their organizations. The result of this research was a description of the cultural change required, organizational components required for success, and various employee involvement programs available. Case studies of utilities with various programs were made from published and corporate literature. The result is an action plan that can be used by utilities to introduce employee involvement programs. | |
