does not necessarily means that all the employees are involved at every stage. In a
participative decision making the employees are involved in the process to the extent
when such decision making directly affect the employees or their work. According to
Luthans the degree of participation of the employees in such decision making depends
upon the experience and the nature of the task. (1989)According to Newstrom:

is that the feeling of commitment level of the individuals is directly proportional
to their participation in a decision or influence in planning process (1974).
