The International Labour Organization (ILO) has been encouraging members’ nation to promote the schemes of the workers ‘participation in management to beat the competition in market and to stay ahead of the competition. This form of management has been adopted by the many organizations. They welcome their innovative ideas concept and thoughts from the employees and involve them in decision – making. However, the idea could not gain much popularity among organizations. Studies have shown that only 3-5 per cent of organization have actually implemented this concept in their daily operations. Though, the theory of participative management is old as the institution of employees and employers is not applied by a large proportion of organizations.
