Factors Associated with Workers' Inclination to Participate in an Employee Involvement Program

Understanding factors associated with workers' inclination to participate in employee involvement programs can contribute to program success. The results of this study support hypotheses that predict that employees who are interested in participation will be younger, more interested in job advancement, more optimistic about program benefits, and more active in their union than those who are uninterested. These findings are consistent with viewing workers' interests in participation as a search for increased responsibility, self-expression, and personal need fulfillment.
