Working Papers from University of Southampton - Department of Accounting and Management Science

Abstract: Worker participation has be investigated by management and accounting researchers for mny years but there is disagreement about both the process of participation and its impact. This paper argues that such equivocality is associated with inappropriate research methodology, research design flaws, and the adoption of a managerialist perspective which results in exclusion of factors fundamental to understanding the phenomenon.
