Abstract

This article examines the incidence and forms of employee participation in decisions reported in a survey of one manager and one employee from each of 45 Russian enterprises in the fall of 1996. Of these enterprises, eight were state-owned, 10 had 'mixed'ownership, 17 had been fully privatized and 10 were newly created private firms. These four ownership sectors differed greatly in the forms taken by employee participation in decisions, but not in its overall incidence. Participation was reported to be significantly more common in enterprises in which employees had become owners, and in enterprises that had been shedding employees.
