Whither democracy? Lost debates in management empowerment
Abstract
Attempts to recontextualize the study of empowerment in management by (re)tracing the linkages between the concepts of participation, democracy and empowerment. Reforging the linkages between these concepts, proceeds to analyze the various conceptions to show the often neglected complexity of this area of debate, a debate seemingly lost in much of the management literature. Attempts to analyze the extent to which this loss of academic debate is mirrored by a loss of debate and representation in the workplace.
