Organizational efficiency and growth is largely enhanced due to unique attributes and expertise its employees embrace. This can be supported by the famous Hawthorne studies which brought about a new perspective in Human Relations Movement .It focused on the relations between people and their social environment backed by motivations. Positive reinforcement is a technique to elicit and to strengthen new behaviors by adding rewards and incentives. Participative leadership is another mode through which there can be positive employee involvement with focus on group decision-making, encouraging creativity and thus higher organizational growth. Positive reinforcement inculcates confidence among the employees, a belief that he or she is capable of completing tasks with success. It paves way for accepting further challenges and complications without the sense of fear and anxiety. Participative leadership is the answer to the success of positive reinforcement .Participative leadership influences the job performance of subordinates through incorporating higher levels of trust between them .Subordinates feel comfortable in sharing their ideas when they are involved in decision – making. This would eventually reflect in higher standards of job performance.
