Abstract: The utilization of employees’ knowledge and the activation of their learning potential are considered as keys to ensure permanent competitive advantages of enterprises. Against this background, studies in occupational sciences focus increasingly participatory configurations of work. In the field of occupational psychology, self-regulation of work has been valid for a long time as core element of a personality supporting and human work design. However, recent empirical findings now point to a number of problems for employees in knowledge-intensive forms of work which are associated with a high degree of participation. In this article the correlation between participation and strain has been empirical examined at the example of employees in consulting firms.
