Abstract
Participative management is based on the assumption that empowering people throughout the enterprise will result in a more responsive, more flexible, and ultimately more successful enterprise. Participative management is more than a willingness to share influence - formal patterns of participation need to be truly implemented where employees have a right to contribute on all levels of decision-making. The empirical survey showed that participative management is applied at academic information services in the Gauteng province of South Africa, but more so in low-level decisions. This indicates that participation is still limited and controlled by management and is not yet experienced as a right by employees.
