Abstract

Die Dekarbonisierung der deutschen Industrie erfordert zahlreiche transformative Maßnahmen, die weitreichende Auswirkungen auf die Arbeitswelt haben werden. Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Rolle der Beschäftigten im Dekarbonisierungsprozess von Indus­trieunternehmen in Deutschland und analysiert, wie das Konzept der Sozialpartnerschaft durch bewährte kooperative Praktiken die Beteiligung der Mit­arbeitenden fördern kann. Es wird argumentiert, dass Beschäftigte durch ihre täglichen Arbeitsprozesse explizites und implizites Wissen erwerben, das zur Entwicklung von Dekarbonisierungsmaßnahmen beitragen kann. Der Beitrag gibt die Einschätzungen von Expertinnen und Experten wieder, die im Rahmen einer Delphi-Studie erhoben wurden. Die Studie hat ergeben, dass gezielte Maßnahmen der Akteure der Sozialpartnerschaft die Nutzung dieses Wissens fördern können, um Maßnahmen für klimaneutrale Produk­tionsprozesse und Produkte zu entwickeln. Trans-Abstract: Decarbonizing German industry requires numerous transformative measures that will have far-reaching impacts on working conditions. This paper examines the role of employees in the decarbonization process of German manufacturing firms and analyzes how the German concept of industrial relations, i.e. social partnership, through proven co­operative practices, can promote employee participation. It is argued that employees acquire explicit and implicit specific knowledge through their daily work processes, which can contribute to the development of decarbonization measures. The paper reflects the assessments of experts gathered through a Delphi study. The study found that targeted actions by social partnership actors can promote the use of this specific knowledge to develop measures for climate-neutral production processes and products.
