“…In contrast, employee share ownership schemes are more likely in more skilled and less pressurized working environments (see also Morris et al, 2005). Poutsma and de Nijs (2003) found that profit sharing is more likely in growing European firms with skilled workforces. Where employee performance is hard to measure, it is argued that financial participation is more likely (Pendleton, 2006).…”

“…These two types of financial participation differ in many respects: the former is really part of the immediate pay package, and part and parcel of the employment contract. The latter is not related to the employment contract, but rather to the ownership of the firm, and, indeed, it is rare for a share ownership scheme to be incorporated in the employment contract (Poutsma and de Nijs, 2003). In part, this may be on account of the difficulty of negotiating such arrangements in the case of centralized bargaining (where the latter is in place).…”

“…They are unlikely to strengthen employees' traditionally weaker rights, with employee share ownership being very heavily diluted, and with limited voting rights (Poutsma and de Nijs, 2003). Profit sharing may, however, be brought under collective bargaining, with fixed formulae being agreed upon.…”

This article investigates where financial participation is most likely to be encountered, and explores its compatibility with collective forms of employee voice. It is based on the findings of a major international survey of human resource management (HRM) practices. We found that financial participation was not affected by collective employee voice, but that national context and associated HRM strategies had significant effects on its nature and extent. As financial participation is likely to make for greater variation in wage rates, it tends to weaken industry-level bargaining. By re-casting the fundamental determinants of wages, it is also likely to facilitate greater wage dispersion within the firm. Hence, it was found that financial participation is more commonly encountered in liberal market contexts, and in firms practising calculative HRM, where countervailing employee power is weak, whether or not collective bargaining is formally present.

“…Auf der Basis der fast einhellig positiven Effekte ist es erstaunlich, dass in praktisch allen Ländern 3 nur eine Minderheit aller Firmen solche Systeme verwenden (Poutsma 2001). Diese Frage wurde bislang nicht überzeugend beantwortet.…”
