Abstract

There are two aspects to employee share ownership: the right to participate in financial matters and a right to participate in the company's decisions. While the financial aspect has been widely studied in the literature, the presence of an administrator who represents the interests of employees who hold shares has received very little attention. Based on a qualitative examination of French companies, this study seeks to capture the impact of such a person in governance bodies.Keywords: employee share ownership; employee shareholder administrator; corporate governance; participation in decision-making; board of directors.
