The Role of the Third Party in Work Organisation Developement

Abstract

This paper is based on my experiences of working as a third party in a large company in the confectionery industry. As part of an ongoing relationship in helping the company develop its approach to participation and involvement, a management working party was established to work out the potential for greater involvement at shop floor level through better job design and work organisation. Having carried out some research in this field I was invited to help this group in working out the problem and subsequently took the opportunity to analyse the nature of my role and the potential and problems associated with it.
