Management Control and Worker Participation in Management

Suzanne Richbell

Chapter 9 in New Perspectives in Management Control, 1983, pp 163-177 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Many studies of management control accept implicitly, if not explicitly, the traditional hierarchical structure of most organisations. Yet, an increasing number of organisations are adopting some form of worker participation in management where this traditional structure is changed. In view of this, it would seem appropriate that studies of management control should be concerned with the implications of such developments for control. It is recognised that whether an organisation chooses to adopt participation or not is based on value judgements. However, in this chapter, the rationale behind examining the relationship between participation and control is that worker participation in management is a phenomenon which is operating in many organisations today and on this basis merits study.
