| Tiivistelmä: | Using data of 52 engineering and metal working firms in the United Kingdom in 1983-84, the impact of employee participation on absenteeism and quit rates is investigated. Included in the explanatory model there are measures of union presence, formal schemes for employee involvement in decision-making, employees' perceived participation in decision-making (based on interviews), and the extent of employee financial participation through profit-sharing, share ownership, and fringe benefits. The results indicate that firms with participation schemes had significantly lower average absenteeism and quit rates than firms without such schemes. However, some forms of participation have the opposite impact. The ambiguous results deserve further research. |
