Participative management is a style in which managers delegate their authority and stress on the active involvement of subordinates in problem solving and practice free flow of organizational communication. Many researchers have studied the adoption of participative management practices in many sectors. Several researchers have also related participative management with the effectiveness of services in libraries. Our libraries have become complex organizations with the application of modern technology. Participative management can help resolve many administrative issues facing libraries today.
