Organizational theorists have developed numerous and sometimes divergent views concerning the dimensions of worker participation. This study analyzes participation using the framework of social exchange theory and contrasts this perspective with existing cognitive, affective, contingency models of the participation process. The social exchange model presented here defines worker participation as a series of exchange transactions between management and employees. Three hypotheses are tested: (I) An individual's contribution to a participative exchange is the result of his or her utility calculation; (II) Interactions are perceived to be successful if resources of the control over resources are mutually exchanged. These resources are categorized as pecuniary, career or advancement, and socialization items; and (III) Successful interactions will be beneficial to the parties involved, participants will have high levels of involvement and will be allowed more access to decisions, and a wide range of issues are addressed.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Organizational theorists have developed numerous and sometimes divergent views concerning the dimensions of worker participation. This study analyzes participation using the framework of social exchange theory and contrasts this perspective with existing cognitive, affective, contingency models of the participation process. The social exchange model presented here defines worker participation as a series of exchange transactions between management and employees. Three hypotheses are tested: (I) An individual's contribution to a participative exchange is the result of his or her utility calculation; (II) Interactions are perceived to be successful if resources of the control over resources are mutually exchanged. These resources are categorized as pecuniary, career or advancement, and socialization items; and (III) Successful interactions will be beneficial to the parties involved, participants will have high levels of involvement and will be allowed more access to decisions, and a wide range of issues are addressed.
520 $a Data from focus group discussions and interviews with company officials were used to construct the survey form. The survey was then administered to supervisory/managerial and nonsupervisory personnel at two sites. Scales were constructed to represent the different perspectives in Hypothesis I and the item categories in Hypothesis II. Reliability coefficients were computed for all scales, and regression analyses conducted for the three hypotheses. For Hypothesis I the dependent variable is expressed involvement and the predictors are position and department of respondent, along with cognitive, affective and social exchange variables. For Hypothesis II the dependent variable is success and the independent variables are the "currency" items mutually exchanged. For Hypothesis III the dependent variable is success and the predictors are actual involvement, access to decisions, range of issues addressed, and success of coworker relations. Trust in supervisor, good coworker relations, and influence are significant social exchange factors. Respect is an important affective factor, and job satisfaction and increased job knowledge and skill the most important cognitive factors. The most valuable items exchanged are information, the opportunity to improve job performance, the opportunity to help others, and commitment to the exchange partner. Success is tied to high access to the decision making process.
520 $a Worker participation is a complex phenomenon and research would benefit from a pluralistic approach that spans multiple levels and perspectives. Social exchange theory has much to offer and should be pursued at a deeper and broader level.
