What is the Involvement Trait?
Organizations characterized as "highly involved" strongly encourage involvement and create a sense of ownership and responsibility. They rely on informal, voluntary and implied control systems, rather than formal, explicit, bureaucratic control systems. Out of this sense of ownership grows a greater commitment to the organization and an increased capacity for autonomy. Receiving input from organization members increases the quality of the decisions and improves their implementation.
