Abstract

This article presents an overview of participation schemes in companies in different European countries. It analyses the interrelationships between two forms of participation schemes: first, schemes for direct participation of employees, namely consultation and delegation both on individual and group level; and second, schemes for financial participation, namely employee ownership and profit sharing. We discuss the background to the diversity in practices by analysing survey data of establishments in ten European countries.
