This paper considers the responsibilities of employees who participate in organizational decision making and the responsibilities of employers who expect to share decision-making tasks. A "Bill of Responsibilities for Employees" and a "Bill of Responsibilities for Employers" are presented. Pitfalls associated with neglecting these responsibilities are discussed.enBureau of Business and Economic ResearchUniversity of Minnesota DuluthWorking Paper
