DETERMINANTS OF PARTICIPATORY MANAGEMENT IN AN AGILE ORGANIZATION IN THE LIGHT OF OWN RESEARCH

<ns3:p>Participatory management plays a crucial role in agile organizations, enabling greater employee engagement in decision-making processes and enhancing the organization’s ability to adapt to a dynamic environment. The aim of this article is to identify the key determinants of participatory management in an agile organization and analyze their interrelationships. The study employs the Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) method, which allows for a graphical interpretation of relationships between variables and the determination of their impact on organizational functioning. Empirical data were collected through a survey conducted among 303 respondents between April and May 2023. The research findings indicate that active participation of teams in decision-making processes, open communication, shared responsibility for organizational outcomes, and knowledge exchange are key factors influencing the effectiveness of participatory management. The results also suggest that agile organizations that successfully implement these practices achieve higher levels of flexibility and operational efficiency. This article contributes significant value to organizational management research by providing empirical evidence on the importance of participatory management in the context of agility. The presented conclusions may serve as practical guidelines for managers seeking to implement participatory management models in dynamically structured organizations.</ns3:p>
