Restrictions to the participation of workers in the business organizations

Abstract

The participation of workers in the organisations and enterprises, for which they work, constitutes along time seeked objective, practically since the Industrial Revolution was implanted. Since then, the impulses to democratise have never stopped taking place, so that today, participation is present —in its different ways, intensities and areas— in most of the enterprises of the occidental countries. However, such process has been conditioned and, sometimes, prevented by the presence of certain ideologies and as well as by a wide set of factors, of which conjunction, it is derived that the participation it has stabilished as a positive social phenomenon and accepted by the different interlocutors or, on the contrary, has not done it or if so, has been in terms of conflictivity.
