    An Action Research Paradigm for Increasing Employee Involvement
    (Case Western Reserve University, 1981-06) Pasmore, William; Friedlander, Frank
    This study explores the use of a participative action research method to enhance employee involvement in organizational problem-solving. Traditional organizational research methods often reinforce hierarchical structures, limiting the role of employees. By contrast, action research empowers employees through collaboration, sharing of knowledge, and joint problem-solving, fostering trust and equitable relationships. The article illustrates the application of this approach in a manufacturing plant addressing a stress-related injury problem, highlighting the benefits for organizational functioning and labor-management dynamics.
