D Traditionally, it has been the worker39。s role to work and management39。s role to manage. Managers have planned and directed the finds operations with little thought of consulting the labor force. Managers have rarely felt forced to obtain the worker39。s opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees. At most, panies have provided su9f。estion boxes in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures. In recent years, however, many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of laborthey have a vital stake (利 害關系 ) in the pany and may be able to make significant contributions to its management. Furthermore, major pany decisions affect workers and their dependants. This is particularly true of plant closings, which may put thousands on the unemployment lines. Should workers, then, play a stronger role in management? Workers should have a role in management. At the very least, the labor force should be informed of major policy decisions. A mon plaint among ordinary workers is the lack of information about pany policies and actions. Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims of plant closings and permanent layoffs (失 業(yè) ) , often with no warning. At least 90 days39。 notice ought to he given in such circumstances so that workers have time to adjust. Management should consult workers before closing a plant, because the workers might be able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and might be willing to make concessions (妥 協(xié) ) that will help keep the plant operating. It should bee a general practice to include workers in some managerial decision making. There ought to be representatives of the workers on the firm39。s board of directors or other major policymaking groups. If ordinary workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow, they will help to make improvements, their spirits will rise, and their productivity will increase. As a further incentive (激勵 ), they must be given a share in the pany39。s profits, This can be done through employee stock ownership plans (員工 持股計劃 ) , bonuses, or rewards for efficiency and productivity. Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit, the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase the plant and run it themselves. 32.
