Partycypacja pracownicza przyszłością zbiorowego prawa pracy

Abstract

One of the basic principles of labour law in Poland is the principle of participation of employed persons in the management of the workplace. Participatory management style is currently the most effective method of enterprise management. This applies particularly to public enterprises (state and local government) and cooperatives. We should promote all forms of employee participation in the management of the company resulting from an open, participatory management style. Employee participation in enterprise management is now a common phenomenon in countries with developed economies. In our country, we can speak de lege lata only about certain elements of “employee participation” scattered in different legal acts. Existing regulations are incomplete and fragmentary. Lack of institutional solutions in this regard is primarily attributed to specific determinants of representing the rights and interests of employees in Poland. Building a new model of employee participation in management will not be easy in our society, because it depends on the level of knowledge, skills and culture of employees, executives and the will of political elites.
