- Summary:
-
A study examined increasing employee participation in a Roman Catholic seminary using an analysis of management style to display a profile of recent changes in the seminary's management not unlike similar changes made in secular organizations. Management behaviors relevant to participation were analyzed according to Likert's taxonomy, which separates management styles into four categories ranging from highly directive to participatory. Results indicate that the seminary has shifted to a management style that allows students, faculty, and trustees more input into management of the institution. In Likert's ideal organization, subordinates are motivated solely by rewards and involvement, communication moves up, down, and sideways, and decisions are made throughout the organization, but in an integrated fashion. The paper concludes that it is not likely that the seminary either will or should aspire to this ideal. Governed by the Vatican, the seminary will be restrained from extending involvement further.
