Abstract

The concept of Workers’ Participation in Management has always been controversial. The debate on its desirability and effects has been confused by the fact that the actors often have different interpretations of its goals, objectives and pitfalls. To begin a discussion on Workers’ Participation in Management it is therefore necessary to depict the different perspectives in which workers’ participation in management may be viewed. Such a birds’ eye view will throw light on the problems of work organisation that give rise to the global interest in workers’ participation in management in so many countries of varied social, economic and political organisation and development. The principal perspectives in which workers’ participation in management may be seen, according to Professor Kenneth Walker, the former Director of the International Institute for Labour Studies in Geneva, are thus: 1. The defence and promotion of workers’ interests, which is the view that workers’ participation in management is a means of advancing the interests of workers
