Why Private Enterprise Don't Implement Participative and Democratic Management: Evidence from Both Sides across the Taiwan Strait

Abstract

Abstract:

Based on a comprehensive review of human resource management and labor relations theory, and private enterprise's survey data of four areasacross the Taiwan Strait, this paper discusses the factors that affect private enterprises' participative and democratic management. Results show that organic structure and good organizational climate are beneficial to enterprises management. There is a u-shaped relationship between organization scale and humanistic caring and decision-making participation. External factors moderate the effect of organizational factors on enterprise democratic management. Labor market standardization and citizen participation promotes democratic participation management in large enterprises, but weakens the role that organizational atmosphere and organizational structure play in democratic management. How to make organizational structure more organic and create good atmosphere to realize participative and democratic management is the key to enterprises' internal and external system design.

Key words: participative and democratic management, private enterprise, factors
