Share capitalism: how helpful is it in giving workers a voice, and in combating problems in the workplace?

We show that worker wellbeing is not only related to the amount of compensation workers receive but also how they receive it. While previous theoretical and empirical work has often been pre-occupied with individual performance-related pay, we will show a robust positive link between the receipt of a range of group performance schemes (profit shares, group bonuses and share ownership) and job satisfaction. Subsequently, we will discuss how these schemes can be reconsidered as ways to give workers a voice in the firm.
