The primary motive of this paper is to outline and explain the significance of human resource
management. The paper also discusses that how the company uses participative management
style to make unique and effective decisions within the organization. Here is the discussion about
the advantages and disadvantages of the autocratic and participative management styles. The
paper answers the questions related to the given case study.
Answer 1
Yes, I think the company participative management will succeed after so many years of
autocratic management. It has been found that autocratic management style is not effective and
good in modern management. The autocratic management style creates confusion and doubts
among the workers and managers as well. The Autocratic rule and policies lead to a ample of
burden on the manager or the leader. Since mangers and leaders take full responsibilities and
authorities for team decisions evaluation of a team’s work that can lead to high confusion,
tension, stress and health issues also (Amanchukwu, Stanley and Ololube, 2015). This can affect
the business activities and operations of the firm. Beside this, autocratic management style is bad
for motivated and high skilled employees as it also reduces team performance and productivity.
It also leads to ego clash and disputes that can affect the productivity of the employees adversely.
Along with this, managers are considered poor and ineffective motivators and workers are failed
to show their judgment and creativity. It may affect morale and loyalty of the workers adversely.
Due to autocratic management style, employee retention and employees turnover issues are
raised at the workplace. In the given case study Azlan can use participative management style to
motivate and encourage the workers for performing tasks and duties effectively (Parikh, 2016).
The participative management style is also known as democratic leadership style. It is one of the
popular management styles that helps in decision making process. This management style invites
leaders to participate in the decision making process. In the given case study CEO uses autocratic
leadership style that was not appropriate for the modern business world. This management style
could also affect the efficiency and effectiveness of the workers. If the CEO uses participative
management style then ample of advantages can be taken while initiating the business activities
