Democratic style: Involves employees in decision‑making, encourages open discussion, and values consensus. This tends to boost intrinsic motivation, fosters a collaborative culture, and promotes innovation.
Paternalistic style: Manager acts as a “parent”, making decisions while caring for employee welfare. Motivation is often extrinsic, relying on loyalty and security; the culture may be hierarchical yet supportive, with strong loyalty but limited autonomy.
Contrast: Democratic management distributes power, whereas paternalistic retains authority but provides protection. Democratic environments encourage creativity, while paternalistic ones emphasize stability and employee well‑being.
