Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze the factors influencing the presence of works councils in Polish companies. The study also considers the incidence of councils in organizations and management’s attitude towards these institutions of employee participation. Design/methodology/approach Based on a sample of 402 Polish private companies, the probit model was calculated to identify the determinants of a works councils’ presence. The coverage of active councils was evaluated on the MRPiPS database and the GUS database. Findings The data show that the coverage of works councils in Polish organizations fell suddenly after the introduction of the amendment of the Act from 2009. Moreover, trade union density has a strong positive influence on the occurrence of works councils in companies. Councils are also more likely to be found in older foreign-owned companies in which forms of direct participation are used. Additionally, a higher share of shift workers in companies is associated with a higher probability of works councils’ presence. Research limitations/implications There are some difficulties with obtaining a precise analysis of the coverage of works councils in Poland. Practical implications Polish findings may be useful for other countries of Central and Eastern Europe with similar characteristics of industrial relations and similarly short traditions of works councils. Originality/value This paper extends the previous research on the operation of works councils in Polish industrial relations by providing an econometric analysis of the determinants of councils’ presence in companies. Such an analysis has been conducted in Poland for the first time.

是什么决定了波兰公司中的劳动委员会的存在?

目的本文的目的是分析影响波兰公司劳资委员会存在的因素。该研究还考虑了理事会在组织中的发生率以及管理层对这些员工参与机构的态度。设计/方法/方法基于402家波兰私营公司的样本,计算了概率模型来确定劳资联合会存在的决定因素。在MRPiPS数据库和GUS数据库上评估了活动议会的覆盖范围。调查结果数据显示,自2009年实施该法修正案以来,波兰组织中的劳动委员会的覆盖率突然下降。此外,工会密度对公司中劳动委员会的产生具有强烈的积极影响。在较旧的外资公司中也更容易找到理事会,这些理事会采用直接参与的形式。此外,公司中轮班工人的比例越高,与劳动委员会存在的可能性越高。研究的局限性/意义要对波兰的劳动委员会的覆盖范围进行精确的分析存在一些困难。实际意义波兰的调查结果对中欧和东欧其他具有类似劳资关系特征和类似的劳动委员会传统的国家可能有用。独创性/价值本文通过提供对公司中理事会存在的决定因素的计量经济学分析,扩展了以前在波兰劳资关系中工作理事会运作的研究。
