| Summary |
"While the promise of economic democracy and workplace citizenship has somewhat diminished, employee participation continues to hold the hope of a committed and satisfied workforce. Participation and Democracy at Work is a fresh, critical and comparative look at this important field. With contributions from leading international scholars, it focuses on a range of organisational and policy issues. The chapters assess the influence of work systems, explore ideological framework and examine contemporary issues in all the key fields of task-based, power-centred and financial participation." "This book will appeal to students of human resource management, employee participation, industrial relations and work organisations. It will also interest policy-makers, managers and trade unions."--BOOK JACKET |
