| Tiivistelmä: | This study explores the effects of workers' perceived participation in democratic decision-making on their pro-social behavioral orientations, democratic values, commitment to the firm, and perceptions of socio-moral climate. The study's sample includes 325 German-speaking employees from 22 companies in Austria, North Italy, and Southern Germany varying in their level of organizational democracy. It is suggested that the extent employees participate in democratic forms of organizational decision-making is positively related to the firm's socio-moral climate and to their own organizational commitment and pro-social and community-related behavioral orientations, as well. In addition, the socio-moral climate is indicated to be positively related to employees' organizational commitment. The effect of participation in decision-making on organizational commitment is partially mediated by socio-moral climate. Implications for promoting societal and organizational civic virtues among individuals are described. |
