Employee participation encompasses the range of mechanisms used to
involve the workforce in decisions at all levels of the
organization--whether direct or indirect--conducted with employees
or through their representatives. In its various guises, the topic
of employee participation has been a recurring theme in industrial
relations and human resource management. One of the problems in
trying to develop any analysis of participation is that there is
potentially limited overlap between these different disciplinary
traditions, and scholars from diverse traditions may know
relatively little of the research that has been done elsewhere.
Accordingly in this book, a number of the more significant
disciplinary areas are analyzed in greater depth in order to ensure
that readers gain a better appreciation of what participation means
from these quite different contextual perspectives.
Not only is there a range of different traditions contributing to
the research and literature on the subject, there is also an
extremely diverse sets of practices that congregate under the
banner of participation. The handbook discusses various arguments
and schools of thought about employee participation, analyzes the
range of forms that participation can take in practice, and
examines the way in which it meets objectives that are set for it,
either by employers, trade unions, individual workers, or, indeed,
the state.
In doing so, the handbook brings together leading scholars from
around the world who present and discuss fundamental theories and
approaches to participation in organization as well as their
connection to broader political forces. These selections address
the changing contexts of employee participation, different
cultural/ institutional models, old/'new' economy models, shifting
social and political patterns, and the correspondence between
industrial and political democracy and participation.
