N2 - Based on an analysis of the Workplace Employment Relations Survey, this report finds strong positive links between the ‘breadth’ and ‘depth’ of some information and consultation practices and employee commitment. Employee ratings of the helpfulness of some consultation and communication methods are positively linked to job satisfaction and commitment. Employee ratings ofmanagers’ effectiveness in consulting employees and employees’ satisfaction with their involvement in decision-making are also positively linked with job satisfaction and commitment, suggesting that the way in which information and consultation methods are implemented is just as important as the type of practices used.This report was commissioned by DTI under theWorkplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS) 2004 Grants Fund. TheFund is a Department of Trade and Industry initiative to develop theevidence base in areas of policy interest, raise awareness of this surveyand encourage advanced data analysis based on the WERS 2004datasets.
