The data and information which were gathered by using questionnaire containing 45 close-ended questions made by the researcher have been conducted. The reliability of the questionnaire proved to be Cronbach`s alpha coefficient, Spirman-Brown and Guttman has been calculated as 0.93, 0.76 and 0.76 respectively and, check the validity of the questionnaire superficial content, and structures method have been applied. The data analysis has been done in the two levels of descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage and standard deviation) and inferential (One-variable t-test and Fridman) statistics. The results have shown that solutions to increase employee participation by using of Suggestion System, Quality Circles, Self Directed Team, Team Work, Works Councils, Employee Ownership, Industrial Freedom and Collective Bargaining has been above the average level. Among the suggested solutions the highest average with 4.13 was related to employee ownership and the lowest average with 3.73 related to Self Directed Team.

Ownership with 5.68 and quality circles with 3.68 have devoted the highest and lowest rates to themselves, respectively. The results obtained among the set of rates for solutions to increase employee participation at the level of P<0.01 has been meaningful and the amount of Chi-square test has been equal to 118.706.
