Workers participation in management (WPM) is a democratic and strategic approach through which employeesare meaningfully involved in organizational decision -making processes at various hierarchical levels. This study examines the nature, extent, and impac t of workers participation in management on organizational growth, with specific reference to Indian industrial enterprises. The research adopts a descriptive and analytical research design utilizing both primary data (structured questionnaire) and seconda ry data sourced from published reports, government policy documents, and academic literature. The study employs statistical tools including percentage analysis, Chi -square test, weighted average method, and correlation analysis to evaluate the relationship between the degree of WPM implementation and indicators of organizational growth such as prod uctivity, employee morale, and profitability. The findings strongly establish that a higher degree of workers participation positively and significantly contributes to enhanced organizational effectiveness. The study concludes that institutionalizing struc tured, transparent, and legally -backed WPM mechanisms is indispensable for sustainable organizational growth in contemporary competitiveenvironments.
