As a device to enhance corporate competitiveness and l satisfaction as well as their commitment, various forms of employees participation in management have been introduced and implemented in korea. With regret, however, one happens to notice that such participation has not been made to last long, largely because it failed to bring about a positive and substantial outcomes Employee participation means either individual employee's participation or union participation into the managerial decision-making process The participation, therefore, consequences sharing of managerial prerogatives and responsibilities. In other words, the employee participation means a sort of system that allows the employee to express his/her view and provide them with a voice on the issues related to their works and on managerial issues such as business policy, implementation of the management, hence, leading to a partnership between labor and management, and bring about labor-captial reconciliation In the Ship Building Industry, the employee participation is quite crucial, for it is the human resource that more or less determines business success. In the Ship Building Industry, therefore, a systematic and positive cooperation of the high potential human resources is an imperative, if the industry is to survive and maintain a continued growth. Largely due to these unique business environment, a new practice that helped to provide the union with a positive role in a business operation has been developed in the Ship Building Industry

It is, however, regretful to notice that most of previous studies on the employee participation, especially on the degree of positive outcome and employees' level of commitment and its effect on organizational efficiency in Korea have been focused largely on micro level, neglecting micro and functional study empirical analysis. An objective of this study is, therefore, to examine the issues empirically and assess the organizational realities An empirical examination of the employee's and labor union's participation in managerial decision-making process and its impact on the organizational effectiveness and corporate competitiveness il particular, in other words, is the main objective of this thesis. To accomplish this objective, a comprehensive documentary review was undertaken And based on this documentary survey 12 hypotheses have been developed and statistical testing has been made on these hypotheses Simple regression model formulation has also been employed on 5-6 explanatory variables. Questionaire survey on the employee participation and its effect on organizational effectiveness was conducted in 10 Ship Building companies. A total of 450 questionaires was sent and collected form among employees in the 10 companies randomly selected. The Total of 391 out of 450 survey questionaires has been processed and analyzed. SPSS statistics package has been used; frequency test, simple linear regression (correlation) analysis, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) The findings of research may be summarized as follows: First, the higher the level of employee participation, the more improved the organizational effectiveness and corporate competitiveness; Second, there exists a strong correlation between the level of labor union's participation and the organizational effectiveness and corporate competitiveness The finding, in a way, explains that when the union participates in the managerial decision making process, it enhance to improve the company's overall productivity, product quality, management assent and capacity, and marketing competence. The union participation also led to employee's job satisfaction and full commitment to the organization. This is contrary to prevailing argument that asserts union's participation consequences negative effect on the management and organizational effectiveness; far from being negative, the finding has proved that the union's participation accompanied with a positive and beneficial on the organizational effectiveness, and hence led to a capital-labor reconciliation; Third, The examination of intervening effect of employee's and union's participation into managerial decision making on the organizational effectiveness and corporate cometitiveness by individual variable such as sexual, It's goes shown that employee's and union's participation into manatgerial decision making on the organizational effectiveness and corporation competitiveness about sexual was effected only organizational effectiveness. Fourth, the outcome of test on intervening effect of employee's and union's participation into managerial decision making process upon the labor relation, provided with the evidence that there exists a corporate competitiveness between the employee's direct management participation and organizational effectiveness was affected only by the labor relation atmosphere In other words, the organization with more amicable labor relation has shown the more positive effect on managerial efficiencies. Fifth, the examination of intervening effect of employee's and union's participation into managerial decision making on the organizational effectiveness and corporate competitiveness by "individual variable such as the educational background", it has been detected that the "educational background" is merely affected by the organizational effectiveness. sixth, the examination of intervening effect of employee's and union's participation into managerial decision making on the organizational effectiveness and corporate by "individual variable such as the length of service", it has been detected that the "length of service" is merely affected by the organizational effectiveness. In conclusion, thought it is true that empirical research has rarely been undertaken in Korea, the finding of this research, support the exiting theoretical argument and empirical findings of previous studies on the impact of employee's as well as union's participation into managerial decision making upon organizational effectiveness and corporate competitive edge. In addition, this research has also provided with significant effect of favorable labor relation, specially on organizational effectiveness. The findings of research also suggests that exists positive correlation between "group variables" and "individual variables" of both employee's and union's participation which are all considered as having grave effect on the organizational effectiveness and corporate competitiveness.
