Abstract
This paper reports the results of a participative management Program on members of a small firm in the areas of behavior (commitment) of employees and attitude of these employees toward management (leadership). A technique for the implementation of such a program for small firms is outlined. Data was collected for two time Periods: pre MBO and post MBO. The results indicate that there were significant changes in nine of the fourteen behavioral dimensions measured (seven at the .01 level), as well as seven of the eight dimensions of attitude of employees toward management (six at the .01 level).
