| Abstract: | The primary objectives of most joint labor-management programs at the plant level are improvements in company performance and in overall labor-management relations. The central thesis of the present analysis is that improvements in employee-supervisor relations are determined by the collaborating activities: highly active team-based programs and substantial union leader participation. Improvements are more likely when programs are in their first few years of activities; when there has been either substantial growth or substantial decline in employment levels; and when the employer has refrained from subcontracting out bargaining unit work. Survey responses provided by 92 plants in 1986 were analyzed. |
