Abstract: This paper provides evidence from a series of case studies which explored in greater detail the differential levels of worker support for organisational and technical change recorded in the 1984 Workplace Industrial Relations Survey (WIRS84). The case studies were completed between 1989 and 1990 in fourteen manufacturing establishments drawn from the WIRS84 sample. Interviews were conducted with managers and union representatives as well as production workers. The results from the case studies are consistent with those reported in Workplace Industrial Relations and Technical Change (Daniel 1987) and provide further clues as to the workforce's perception and interpretation of each form of change.
