Abstract
Abstract This article examines the benefits that derive from worker participation in decision-making (WPD) in enterprises and explores the question of who benefits from such participation. It does so by summarising the findings of three major surveys on WPD and one in-depth study of a fresh fish processing factory. It concludes that WPD leads to greater job satisfaction and increased worker morale in roughly two-thirds of the cases and to improved production performance in about one-third of the cases From the indepth case study it shows that not all stakeholders necessarily benefit from WPD in that fish workers did not benefit materially from improved performance at the factory. The article demonstrates that it is not always workers who do not benefit from WPD and identifies some conditions required to ensure that all stakeholders do benefit from WPD.
