| dc.description | Employee participation in decision-making is currently among the most important management tools under the New Public Management that aim to improve public sector effectiveness and performance. However, prior studies revealed that employee participation in decision-making remains relatively low. The primary objectives of this study are: to investigate the nature of employee participation in decision-making based on Likert's Participative Theory; to analyse the relationship between situational factors (feminist and masculine leadership styles, national culture, organisation size) and employee participation in decision-making; and to determine the influence of situational factors (feminist and masculine leadership styles, national culture, organisation size) and employee participation in decision-making amongst middle management in the Malaysian public sector. This research involves a quantitative and cross-sectional study. Six ministries in Putrajaya from various sizes were randomly selected. A total number of 758 respondents from three job positions in the middle management were selected using purposive sampling, and only 456 respondents responded to the questionnaire. The data analysis involved descriptive analysis, Pearson and Spearman's Rho correlation, Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, and multiple regression in order to determine the relationship, difference and effect. The results indicate that middle management employees have a moderate level of participation in decision-making. Feminist leadership styles show a positive relationship with participation in decision-making (r = .576, p <.000), while masculine leadership styles show a negative relationship with participation in decision-making (r = -.191, p <.000). There is no relationship between overall national culture and organisation size with participation in decision-making. Finally, the results also reveal that only leadership styles have an influence towards participation in decision-making; feminist leadership styles have a positive influence towards participation in decision-making (β = .558, p < .000), while masculine leadership styles have a negative influence (β = -.117, p < .007). The findings of this study support and strengthen the Likert's participative theory by integrating the gender context into the theory. It further reveals that feminist leadership styles have similarities with the participative theory as compared to masculine leadership styles. National culture is partially related to the theory, while organisation size does not have any association at all. Therefore, this study implies that feminist leadership styles practised by a leader are more effective in today's organisation, and enhance employee participation in decision-making. Meanwhile, masculine leadership styles reduce and hinder employee participation in decision-making in the organisation.,Certification of Master's/Doctoral Thesis" is not available | - |
