Long Time

Subordinate participation in the decision-making process has been practised extensively in developed countries for a long time. Less is known about developing and least developing nations. This study assesses the propensity for participative decision making among the managers of Bangladesh and Malaysia. The hypotheses test propensity scale among the managers of both the countries and if mangers of Malaysian Industries demonstrate more propensity than Bangladeshi managers. In the process, the study assesses the similarities and differences of opinion concerning four dimensions of the participative decision-making process, i.e. organisational effectiveness, organisational culture, perceived power-sharing and mutual trust. The quantitative survey research approach found that individual differences significantly determine one’s propensity for the participative decision-making process. In an independent samples t-test, Malaysian managers have shown a more significant level propensity for participative decision making than Bangladeshi managers. The study also shows that there is a significant relationship between trust and organisational culture as two important dimensions of PDM. The results of this study arise a case for managers of both countries to question their expectations about employees and disparagingly examine whether their predispositions influence their decision-making practices. The findings may provide business leaders of both the courtiers in these contexts with an understanding of the possible adaptation of the concept of the participative decision-making process.

Theory Z

The study intended to identify if the assumptions of the “Theory Z” serve as predictors of the manager’s propensity for participative decision making. Earlier research reports that apart from employee’s intent to join in decision-making forum, the manager’s tendency is equally essential. The seven assumptions of the “Theory Z” were assessed for finding managers penchant for participative decision making. This study follows an explanatory sequential mixed method research approach with an emphasis on quantitative results. The sample comprises managers (strategical, tactical and operational) from thirteen Bangladeshi Textile Industries. Findings suggest that Ouchi’s assertion of the assumptions of the Theory Z (leadership style, trust, and organisational culture) have reliable predictability for manager’s propensity for participative decision making. The study theoretically contributes to the managers’ propensity for participative decision-making study by assessing the assumptions of the “Theory Z”. Practically, the findings present a convincing argument for managers to challenge their employees’ perceptions continually and to analyse objectively how their bias affects their decision-making processes in the least developed countries.

The Relationship

This study set out to investigate what role the quality of the relationship between business leaders and their employees played in the performance of their business. The study compared the business performance of forty-five area managers in one of the major listed banks in South Africa with their specific leader/employee relationship profiles. The research approach was quantitative and of a correlational nature. The results indicate that although certain elements within the relationship between business leaders and employees indeed have an influence on business performance this alone was not a sufficient condition. The study suggested that the dimensions relating to vision, trust, accountability and decision- making have the strongest influence on business performance. Further research in this area is suggested.

Action Research Approach

PurposeThe paper proposes an innovative systemic method helping decision-makers to control servitization transition process, through decision process risk diagnosis.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed method is based on the modeling of decision processes and risk identification and analysis. This method was based on an action-research approach, in close relationship with two companies (SMEs). The paper develops the feasibility experiment at Automelec company.FindingsThe method was successfully implemented and delivered concrete diagnosis results.Research limitations/implicationsThe generalization of the applicability of the method needs to be tested on several different cases.Practical implicationsThe first practical implication is related to the efficiency of the method to help decision-makers in a servitization context to limit uncertainty and get a global view of the weaknesses of their decision-making process, it raises their awareness about servitization transition for their companies. Furthermore, the method also helps to explain the strategy of a servitization transition. It enhances the level of maturity of the decision process of the company, and can be used as a training/learning tool for managers.Social implicationsThe results brought by the research contribute to give the decision-making boards for organization living a servitization transition and especially SMEs a better control over the servitization decision process and related risks, which will increase the economic stability of the company and its vision over long, medium and short horizons. This will bring positive impact on the overall economic and social environment and networks of the servitized SME, and enhance the confidence of coworkers, subcontractors and clients.Originality/valueThe first originality of the paper is related to the new way of considering risk, not only as an analysis criterion but as the central driver in steering a strategic transition for the company, such as servitization. The second originality of the study is about assessing risk occurrence over a decision-making process through decision reliability and decision confidence.

The decision to work abroad is a unique dynamic for women migrant workers because they have to leave their homes for a long time. The decision is not an easy thing to do. For women in West Java, who are predominantly Muslim, leaving their homes is still a theological and cultural debate as to whether women may work outside the home. Culturally, women are "Dulang Tinande," in which they are "not as a determinant" in family life. This research uses a feminist approach to uncover the experiences of and to give women migrant workers from West Java. Research shows that these workers have three motives for choosing to work abroad: economic, Human Capital, and social. Besides, they go through four decision-making processes to become migrant workers: self-stabilization, consultation with relatives, seeking information related to employment agencies (PJTKI), and consulting with Muslim clerics to ask for prayer and safety amulets.

Organizational Uncertainty

This research examines perceptions of organizational uncertainty among Korean public employees during an administrative paradigm shift. Using the data from Korean public employees in the central ministries, this article explores the extent to which public employees perceive organizational uncertainty and how separate instances of perceived uncertainty are associated. The findings reveal four dimensions of uncertainty: structural and systematic; new administrative demand; job-related; and unpredictability in the decision-making process. In addition, all of these types of uncertainty are linked; new administrative demand uncertainty has a strong influence on the other three. This research concludes by suggesting the roles of leaders in solving uncertain aspects from an increased burden of administrative reform. Points for practitioners Public managers need to recognize that when administrative reforms and organizational change take place, employees become anxious about their job prospects, organizational systems, and external demands. Such perceived organizational uncertainties are associated with one another: jobs, organizational systems, decision-making process, and external administrative demand. More specifically, the inability to cope well with uncertain environmental conditions negatively affects organizational members' behaviors and eventually results in individual stress and uncertainty about their jobs. Nevertheless, organizational uncertainties cannot be avoided in changing and transitional administrative environments. Thus, public managers need to consider and mitigate the negative aspects of organizational uncertainty by adopting innovative approaches and practices for successful administrative reform.
