Social Bases of Support for Workplace Democracy

Little research has been done to verify speculations about reasons for the upsurge of interest in workplace democracy in recent years. This study analyzes personal interview and mail survey data from workers in Gothenburg in 1977 and 1980, to discover what differentiates advocates and opponents of the idea. Although different categories of workers appeared basically like-minded about the effects of Sweden's new Codetermination Law, opinions on further democratization of the workplace varied according to workers' political philosophy, job experiences, and, to a lesser extent, upbringing. Some changes in the base of support for workplace democracy were detected, especially in terms of job-related factors
