It proceeds to outline a theory of organization which provides a broad conceptual framework for the empirical analysis which follows. This theory is based on five concepts: the values of organizational members; the administrative structure of the organization; the interpersonal and intergroup processes; the reactions and adjustments of organization members; the social, political, economic, and cultural environments of the organization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA sample of 20 industrial organizations was selected to examine the effects of significant employee participation and to test the theory.
