Abstract: There is little research on how often and why members of works councils resign during a current term of office. As the analysis of data from the WSI works council panel 2015–2018 shows, close to one third of members of works councils resign from their position before the end of the four-year term in office. As the analysis confirms, there are multiple motivations for quitting, among other reasons problems with balancing work and private life, job-related stress as well as conflict with the employer or within the works council. As multivariate estimates show, withdrawal of representatives from the works council is associated with employer behaviour interfering with the legal rights of works councils, a perceived poor relationship between the works council and the establishment’s workforce and a high share of non-standard employment. In contrast, when an establishment is covered by a collective agreement there is a stabilising effect on the continuity of the works council during the term in office.
