Abstract: There has been a shift in Swedish labour relations in favour of more bipartite decision-making at the workplace level. Drawing mainly on primary sources (especially survey studies from 1998, 1996 and 1984), this article examines two aspects of codetermination: the effects on the management of corporations, and employees' position and their degree of influence. Data from the surveys indicate that codetermination on the whole has been well received and handled by both managers and unionists and local actors show a high level of 'participative skill'.
