Abstract

What room is there for worker voice in management, and more precisely, in human resource management, in today’s companies? Against a backdrop of individualisation and financialisation of management, new claims arise that promise to give workers more voice, individually and collectively. In this article, we delineate the different options open to management in organising for worker voice. Going back to the influential work of Roethlisberger and Dickson, we propose three different perspectives on how employee voice is considered in human resource management. Finally, we discuss managerial and firm governance options to show that there are a variety of practices in companies, but also that worker voice is under threat.
