Title: Measuring the Implementation of Employee Involvement in the Maquiladora Industry : A Matched-pairs Analysis of United States Parent Companies and Their Mexican Subsidiaries
Abstract: Participative management practices between United States parent companies in the maquiladora industry and their Mexico assembly plants were investigated for this study. It was hypothesized that managers of parent maquiladora companies in the United States encouraged greater levels of worker participation than did expatriate managers in Mexican subsidiaries. However, the findings of this study indicate that expatriate managers in a number of the Mexico subsidiaries are currently implementing employee involvement approaches. In some instances, highly participative team-based approaches are being used.
