Participative Management in Relation to Library Effectiveness

Beverly P. Lynch

Abstract

This paper reviews a recent study on the influence of participative management on library performance.Because most of the recent theoretical and empirical research being done in this area is ignored and an invalid measure of participation in decision making is used~ the study provides no basis for the generalization that an increase in the library staff's participation in decision making will increase the library's effectiveness.
