This study explores the role of employee membership in the training process in Polish co-operative banks. On the basis of human capital theory and social exchange theory two hypotheses were formulated regarding the direct impact of employee membership on the number of training events as well as training days. The research hypotheses were tested on the basis of employee responses from two nationwide research projects about human resources in Polish co-operative banks (N = 2,273 and N = 1,707). The analyses were conducted with several two-level ordered logit models in which the proportional odds assumption was tested. As was expected, employees who hold shares of their co-operative bank receive more training. However, in the first database this result occurs only for employees with a lower level of training intensity, while in the second database it holds for all employees.

本研究探讨了员工会员在波兰合作银行培训过程中的作用。在人力资本理论和社会交换理论的基础上，关于员工会员资格对培训活动次数和培训天数的直接影响，提出了两个假设。研究假设根据员工对波兰合作银行人力资源的两个全国性研究项目（N = 2,273 和 N = 1,707）的反应进行了测试。分析是使用几个两级有序 logit 模型进行的，其中测试了比例优势假设。正如预期的那样，持有合作银行股份的员工接受了更多培训。然而，在第一个数据库中，这个结果只出现在训练强度较低的员工身上，
