Abstract: | Higher performance is suggested to be encountered when employee-share-ownership (ESO) schemes coexist with employee participation arrangements. Drawing on the cross-section data from the 1998 Workplace Employee Relations Survey (WERS), this study shows higher productivity to be observed in those workplaces where unions coexist with ESO schemes. This result highlights the relevance of unions to High Performance Work Systems. |
