Models of Participative Management that Can Be Applied in Romanian Public Institutions

Abstract

Improving the efficiency of a public institution but also increasing the professional performance can be achieved by implementing a participative management. In this paper we will focus on participative management that will approach from the point of view of a process of change, using elements from the theory of exchange (Chardwick-Jones,1976), as well as from the point of view of cognitive-expectation theory. Thus, following some research in the field, we proposed three managerial models in order to support the implementation of a participative type of management in the Romanian public institutions. All these models can lead to organizational success and advocates a flat organizational structure, shows that the management team receives ongoing monitoring and guidance from the public administration managerial professionists and also shows the interaction between managerial team, staff at the central level and the associates.
