A large body of literature documents that increased worker participation leads to improvements in the working environment. This article identifies the Swedish and Norwegian sources of some of this research and notes the link with social policy, namely, legislative reform in those countries. In contrast, the United States has resisted legislative solutions, but that may be changing. New strategies to democratize the workplace are a result of global economic competition, desire to reduce job stress and compensation costs, and more successful application of new technologies at work. These are examined and some conclusions are drawn about next stages in the reform efforts.
大量文献记载，工人参与度的提高会带来工作环境的改善。本文确定了这项研究的一些瑞典和挪威来源，并指出了与社会政策的联系，即这些国家的立法改革。相比之下，美国一直抵制立法解决方案，但这种情况可能正在改变。使工作场所民主化的新策略是全球经济竞争、减轻工作压力和薪酬成本的愿望以及新技术在工作中的更成功应用的结果。本文对这些进行了研究，并就改革努力的下一阶段得出了一些结论。
