Workers Participation In Management - Worker Participation Management

Hi, I am Meera. I am currently pursuing an MBA. I am working on a project about workers' participation in management. I need help in preparing a questionnaire for this project. Please assist me. I am eagerly waiting for your response.

Regards,
Meera Nair

Hello Meera,

I do not have any questionnaires. I also need to search the web using Google. Have you done any literature survey on this topic? Please see my posts on Research methodology at CiteHr.

It will be useful for us if you tell us more about your course, where you are studying, and the mode of study. Also, provide information about the organization where you will use the questionnaire and its purpose.

Hi Meera,

I have also done my summer training in NTPC on the same topic - WPM (measuring the effectiveness of the Participative forum in NTPC, Unchahar). I will update the same later.
