This article discusses a sample study of about 2,500 employees within the US healthcare system. It specifically discusses the effect of a participative management style on various factors, with performance being one of them. This has a lot of relevance to my research topic as I am researching the claim that the author has stated in the article.

The authors have had at least five to twelve articles each published in various scholarly journals, which have all been subject to peer-reviews.
