INT+O0/CTION TO ST/0.
,ithin the last three decades in the realm of human resource management the techni9ue of the wor'ers= participation in management has been regarded as a powerful behavioral tool for managing the industrial relations system. !articipative -anagement represents industrial democracy in action and wor'ers and management should both be re"educated to play their roles as partners in the process of production and put industrial democracy to wor' effectively. WHAT IS WORKERS' PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT The term participative management and wor'ers= participation in management are the same. )t is composed of two words < CaD CbD CaD !articipation -anagement
Parti ipation < The participation is one=s own mental and emotional involvement in decision ma'ing process for achieving organisation goals and share responsibility. The three important aspects of participation are < #. (. 2. person=s self is involve rather than his s'ills. )t motivates persons to contribute their own resources of initiative and creativity towards the objective of the organisation. )t also encourages people to accept responsibility in their group activity.
CbD
#ana$ement < )t means the manage the affairs of the organisation in systematic way. )t involves loo'ing after day to day wor'8 deciding policy matter and implementing the policy decision.
:efore the industrial revolution the ownership of the underta'ing was with a single person and he himself was doing the function of manager8 when his unit was small. :ut in course of time8 the underta'ing became bigger and mechanised and produced on large scale thereby expanding its activities considerable. One person could not attend to all aspects of production. $rdually8 the functions of managing the underta'ing were separated and s'illed and expert manager were appointed for this job. The concept of ,or'ers= !articipation in -anagement has changed from time to time and country to country. ,or'ers= !articipation in -anagement means the wor'ers are given a chance to share the functions of the management in achieving the organisational goals of the underta'ing. ccording to 3eit! 0a'is ,!- refers to the mental and emotional involvement of a person in a group situation which encourages him to contribute to group goals and share the responsibility of achieving them.
Psy !olo$i al < )t gives full recognition to the human element inindustry and generates a greater interest in the operation of the underta'ing. sense of belonging is developed8 which in turn8 results in higher efficiency. So ial < The concept of participation produces e9ual status between wor'ers and management through sharing of decision ma'ing process which ma'es the wor'ers productive8 creative and efficient. )t also recognises the dignity of man as man and also satisfies his urge for self expression and ma'es our democracy functional.

5oint #ana$ement Coun ils < These councils consists of e9ual number of representative of employers and wor'ers. The councils discuss various matters concerning wor'ing of industry. The decisions of these councils are advisory in nature. ,or'ing conditions8 accident prevention8 indiscipline8 absenteeism and training are generally the matters brought before 1oint -anagement Councils. ,hile wor's committee are formed at shop floor level. 1oint management councils are instituted at plant level. "or2er 0ire tors < ;nder this method8 one or two representatives of wor'ers are nominated or elected on the :oard of /irectors. This is full fledged and highest forum of wor'ers participation in management. )n )ndia /.C.-. and few other companies provide representation to wor'ers on their :oard of /irector. Co:partners!ip < )n this method8 wor'ers are made shareholders in the company in which they are employed. s partners8 they ta'e part in :oard of /irectors. They also share the company=s profit in the form of dividend. This generated a a feeling of responsibility to the enterprise among the wor'ers. Auto:#ana$ement < This scheme of ,or'ers= !articipation in -anagement is called = uto"-anagement= or =+elf"-anagement= in 7ugoslavia. ,or'ers manage all aspects of industries through their representatives. Here the wor'ers themselves constitute the management and there is no 9uestion of consultation or sharing of powers with representatives of private capital. ll underta'ings are treated as national property and are managed by the ,or'ers= Councils and -anagement :oards.

CONCL/SION
fter conducting a comprehensive study on WORKERS' PARTICIPATION IN MANAGEMENT at *hetri Copper Complex8 ) have come to the following conclusion < #. )ndustrial Relation at *hetri Copper Complex between #A?( F #A?@ were bad and tense which ultimately erupted into a general stri'e. However8 since last (B years management and labour relation are by and large harmonious with occurrence of any major stri'e or shut"down. part from )R side there has been a gradual improvement in production8 productivity8 welfare measure8 safety and other related areas. )t is apparent from the study that the success of ,.!.-. at *.C.C. is largely from the fact that this public sector company introduced the schemes in response to its felt need rather than only out of any ministerial compulsion. Reflecting a true sense of participation8 union representatives have submitted to the proposal for economy in expenditure8 scrap utilisation8 energy conservation8 timely procurement of materials etc. part from the matters other areas li'e pertaining to safety8 welfare8 recruitment8 environment and other allied issues have been discussed with the aim of sharing information and joint decision. There is a general feeling among all that G,or'ers= !articipation in -anagementG has contributed to the organisation and has given imputes. The implementation of the decision ta'en in the various participative forums is left on the part of the management alone and at times the decision is not been implemented in the right time and right spirit. There is a need to develop appropriate participative s'ills both for the managers and wor'ers for this some experts and consultant should be obtained to share the experience of the other industry. ,or'ers initiative at some levels is not recognised and encouraged. Trade union rivalry between recognised trade union and registered trade union exist. /ecision in 1oint Council and +hop Councils meetings are arrived through negotiation and persuation.

fter having gone through different aspects and operation of the scheme at *CC8 ) reach with my opinion through these following points are given some attention this scheme of ,.!.-. at *.C.C. < #. Registered Trade ;nion alongwith recognised Trade ;nion should have some way of representation in the participative forums and thereby the scheme may run in better way. To develop appropriate participative s'ills e.g. leadership8 inter"personnel relationship8 problem identification and analysis regular training should be provided to the wor'ers as well as the managers. The domination of pressure groups which is for vested interests should be minimised. -is"conception about participation is a treat to power and authority should be removed from a section of managers. Help of some expert or consultant should be obtained to sharp experience of other industries and explore possibilities of expanding it in other areas of management functions. /ecision ta'en in +hop Councils and 1oint Council should be implemented fully to develop to trust of common wor'ers in wor'ing of the participative forums. /ecision ta'en in various participative forums must be displayed on the notice board of the company for information of the common employees8 so that they get motivated and involved in the process of co"operation8 trust and confidence building. Responsibility of implementing decision ta'en in various participative forum should be e9ually share by wor'ers representative also should not be left to the management alone. ,or'ers participative should be extended in other areas of policies and programmes li'e planning8 diversification8 control8 inspection etc. to control mistrust. +uggestion scheme which is already in operation should be made more familiar attractive and useful to get more and more employees involved in the function of management.
