ABSTRACT
The project entitled “A Study on Employee Involvement in Kamal Foam Private Limited
Puducherry” has evolved through numerous stages. Many of these programs, once
implemented, did not last. Employee Involvement, Work involvement management (WIM)
articulate and assess its most basic activities and values. Work Involvement, instead of
imposing a new program on an existing structure, has the potential to reconstruct an
the understanding and support of the people most often expected to carry out those goals of
the employees. In this case, employee involvement and management can be instrumental in
performance. The research is descriptive and sample method used in census sampling. Nearly
50 samples are taken to study the employee involvement in the organisation. Primary data
such as questionnaire and interview have been conducted to collect the data from the
employees .Generally statistical tools such as T-Test, One-way ANOVA, and Correlation are
used for analysis and interpretation. The study reveals that they are involved in the activities
other than work; a comfortable work environment is there where every employee feels
comfortable. The major objectives of this study is to know the level of employee
involvement in the organization, find out important factor required for employee
involvement, and examine the correlation between personal factors and loyalty of the
employees with their organization. This study involves the descriptive design. It includes the
surveys and fact finding enquiries of different kinds. The main purpose of this research
design is to describe the state of affairs as its existing at present in the foam manufacturing
industries in Puducherry. The simple random sampling is proposed to use for this research
study. The proposed tools for data analysis will be T-Test, One-Way ANOVA and Correlation
Analysis. The study was mainly undertaken to determine the employee attitude and
responsibilities to employees and also motivate them in decision making process. The scope
of the study is to find the measures that is taken to enhance the employee involvement and to
improve the performances. The study can be used to bring out the solution for the problem

decisions and actions that affect their jobs. It is not the goal nor is it a tool, as practiced in
many organizations.
One of the greatest underlying factors in the success or failure of any organization is
the power of its people and how well that power is focused towards meeting organizational
objectives. Organizations that can tap the strengths of their people will be stronger and more
Numerous studies, all point to the fact that employee involvement does influence
organizational effectiveness; some of which includes lower absenteeism, (Marks et al, 1986),
enhanced work attitudes (steel and Lloyd, 1988), higher individual work performance (Bush
and Spangler, 1990), lower employee turnover and increased returns on equity

There are several keys to involvement among which are financial and job security.

Share ownership and profit distribution plans can help to foster an interest in a company’s
affairs at the competitive level which is often hard to get across in the normal day-to-day
routine of workplace activity. Apostolic (2000) with regards to job security, having no doubts
that one will still be with the company for a long time to come are likely to encourage a
sense of belonging.
Methods of getting employees involved are many and varied and these include
suggestion systems, teams, focus groups, surveys, self-directed work groups, incentive
The aim is to determine the most effective option that will be linked to specific
organizational goals. Certain key actions need to take place to be able to implement
employee involvement. These, according to Apostolic are: Giving the employee the

Forms of Employee Involvement
• Job participation,

According to Lawler (1986), it is however incorrect to assume that the mere existence
of such organizational programs as proxies for individual feelings toward involvement, and
employee’s attitude and behavior. These types of operationalization recognize that the
individual employee must perceive that the opportunity for involvement exists and that the
employee must endorse it by actually putting involvement into practice in his or her daily
work routine.
The core values are reflected in five different perspectives on the purpose and
morale problems). A key issue in this approach is the extent to which management delegates
or retains the power to initiate, frame, and terminative participative processes. It also reflects
management’s view that the direct participation of workers undermines union power.

The Humanist Psychology Approach, which is inspired by human growth and
This approach reflects the movement led by Elton Mayo. It reflects a much more
positive view of human nature and emphasizes the need to retrain managers to develop their
societal function of the workplace and the benefit of participatory restructuring of the
workplace, given the central role it plays in the lives of most ordinary people (Pateman
1970).

PROBABILITY SAMPLING:
A probability sampling method is any method of sampling that utilizes some form of
random selection. In order to have a random selection method, you must set up some process
or procedure that assures that the different units in your population have equal probabilities
of being chosen.
RANDOM SAMPLING:
Random sampling (also referred to as random sampling) is the purest and the most
straightforward probability sampling strategy. It is also the most popular method for
choosing a sample among population for a wide range of purposes. In simple random
sampling each member of population is equally likely to be chosen as part of the sample. It
has been stated that “the logic behind simple random sampling is that it removes bias from
the selection procedure and should result in representative samples”. Ideally, the sample size
of more than a few hundred is required in order to be able to apply simple random sampling
in an appropriate manner.
