The role of work democracy in enhancing the organizational value of individuals working in the office of the Muthanna Education Directorate

Abstract

This research aims to enhance the organizational value of individuals within the workplace by disseminating the concept of work democracy within the work environment and creating a comfortable environment in which they work and feel freedom of expression. The research problem was represented by the inability of organizations to define or combine organizational values and priorities. Also, the research was conducted in the office of the Muthanna Education Directorate, and the research sample consisted of a group of department heads and employees. The number of respondents reached (120) employees during the year 2023. Moreover, the research assumed that work democracy affects the organizational values of individual workers. From this hypothesis, other sub-hypotheses were derived that test the extent of the impact of the dimensions of democracy (the right to vote, legal procedures, collective negotiations) on the organizational value of individuals. Simple and multiple regression coefficients were utilized to verify the validity of the hypotheses. The research proved that labor democracy, collective negotiations, and the right to vote affect the organizational value of individual workers. However, legal procedures did not significantly affect them. Accordingly, the research recommended focusing seriously on collective negotiations and forming a group of representatives in the workplace that undertake negotiations, demand rights, and define duties within the workplace.
