| description | Globalization has completely changed the world and brings huge impacts towards the
organization. Therefore, to survive and compete in this challenging world, most of the
organizations have transformed from traditional management styles to more effective and
adaptive management styles. Hence, participative management has emerged as a modern
management style, which is less hierarchical, applies a bottom-up approach, and focuses on
consensus or consultative decision-making. This management style emphasizes on employee
participation in the decision-making (PDM) process of an organization. However, the
implementation of participative management also depends on leadership styles practiced by a
leader. Thus, feminist leadership styles such as people-oriented, nurturing, participative,
democratic and transformative have seemed to be more associated and more supportive
towards participative management as compared to traditional leadership styles or masculine
leadership styles (control-wise, autocratic, top-down approach and coercive) . This study
examined the association between participative management and feminist leadership styles
based on the review of past literature. The conceptual findings revealed that the participative
management theory had similar characteristics and association with feminist leadership
styles. It can be concluded that feminist leadership styles can bring successfulness to the
implementation of participative management in the organization and enhance the level of
employee participation in decision-making (PDM). |
