There is limited specific information on studies comparing participation vs. non-participation in organizational change endeavors in the 1940s due to the lack of digital records and accessibility. However, early research by Kurt Lewin and his colleagues during that time emphasized the importance of employee involvement in change initiatives. Lewin's work laid the foundation for future studies on participative management and organizational change.

In the 1940s, notable studies on participation in organizational change included the Hawthorne Studies, which examined how employee involvement affected productivity and morale. These studies indicated that participation led to increased engagement and satisfaction among workers, positively influencing organizational outcomes. Additionally, Kurt Lewin's work on change management emphasized the importance of involving individuals in the change process to ensure successful implementation and reduce resistance. Overall, these studies highlighted the benefits of participatory approaches in organizational change efforts.
The core elements of Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) that emphasize employee empowerment in reporting opportunities for improvement include the "Employee Involvement" and "Worksite Analysis" components. Employee involvement ensures that workers can actively participate in safety and health programs, encouraging them to report issues or suggest improvements without fear of reprisal. Additionally, VPP explicitly states that participation in these programs does not diminish employees' rights under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, reinforcing that their rights to report unsafe conditions remain intact.
More often than not, the terms involvement and participation are recklessly used to mean the same. That is, they are assumed they could be used interchangeably. It is wrong to do so even at the most elementary level. At human resources management level, employee participation is not employee involvement although the two go together and complement each other.At the most elementary level, involvement articulates inclusion, and close connectivity to something. It depicts containment. Simply put , to be involved means to be included-to be subsumed-to be encompassed-to be enveloped or wrapped, to be contained.Participation on the other hand, articulates a sense of being part of something, and therefore a share of it. It implies sharing something in common with others, joining with them in activities. It therefore denotes taking part in something.From just this elementary viewpoint, it could be concluded with certainty and confidence that the two processes cannot mean the same and moreso when applied in the context of human resources management.
