This paper examines empirically the determinants of decentralization of decision-
making in the firm for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that tend to be
highly centralized. By decentralization of decisions we mean the delegation of decision
rights from the owner or manager to the plant supervisor or even to floor workers. Our
findings show that the allocation of authority to basic workers or a team of workers
depends on firm characteristics such as firm size, the use of internal networks or the
number of workplaces, and workers characteristics, in particular, the composition of the
laborforce in terms of education and seniority and whether or not workers receive pay
incentives. External factors such as the intensity of competition and the firm s export
intensity are also important determinants of the allocation of authority. |
