Abstract: Multivariate analysis of survey data for a Spanish region suggests a model of direct participation aimed mostly at workers’ integration within a broadly neo-Tayloristic approach to labour management and pragmatism of unions and managers. These results question dominant perceptions of the determinants of direct participation, especially that direct participation may always be connected to change and that it cannot enhance institutional industrial relations and participation processes. The political system of industrial relations appears to mediate developments.
