recommends that the administrative communications in the council should do
all that can activate the employee's participation in the process of decisionmaking and encourage them to take the initiative.
The study found out that the process of decision making in the State council
is characterized by centralization
in some of its aspects while
decentralization degree increase in other aspects of the process; thus the
researcher recommends to the administrative communications in the council
to seek to reduce the intensity of centralization in some aspects of the
decision making process.
The study found out that the study sample units agree of some of the stages
through which the decision making process in the council is completed while
they agree, to some extent, to the other stages. Thus, the researcher
recommends the necessity of developing a clear methodology for the stages
