Abstract
“The primary purpose of this study was to determine the effects of participation in decision-making on persons with different personality characteristics. It was hypothesized that equalitarians and individuals with strong independence needs would be more positively affected by the opportunity to participate in making decisions than authoritarians and persons with weaker independence needs.” The results, based on data derived in an actual industrial setting, confirmed the hypothesis. The theoretical implications of the findings are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
