RESEARCH DESIGN This research describes and expla

It is hypothesized that, to effectively motivate employees in contemporary organizations, a Theory Y management style incorporated into a participatory structure is required.

The research will be a field experiment, in that it will be conducted within a functioning organization as opposed to a laboratory or other contrived environment. As opposed to a true experiment, the research to be conducted will be a quasiexperimental design. The quasiexperimental design is desirable, because, within the environment of a functioning organization, subject selection poses problems. In this particular research, the major drawback to a true experimental design is the requirement for the random assignment of subjects to experimental conditions. While it is feasible within the participating organization to expose different groups of subjects to different conditions, the random assignment of subjects to different groups is not feasible.

Within the context of quasiexperimental designs, the research to be conducted will be a nonequivalent control group design. Within this design framework, two organizational subunits will be selected to participate in the research. These two organizational subunits will be of approximately the same numerical strength, of functional similarity (both wil
