Staying True to Co-Operative Identity: Diagnosing Worker Co-Operatives for Adherence to their Values

Sonja Novkovic, Piotr Prokopowicz and Ryszard Stocki

A chapter in Advances in the Economic Analysis of Participatory and Labor-Managed Firms, 2012, pp 23-50 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: This chapter contributes to the discourse on the impact of employee participation in organisations. Using worker co-operatives as special cases of participatory firms, we discuss the role of values in organisations and their importance in a business context. We devise and apply the CoopIndex diagnostic tool as a method of assessment of the ‘health’ of an organisation whose members aspire to align co-operative management with the application of the co-operative principles and values.
