Abstract: Traditionally, worker participation systems in most countries have been promoted by labour movements. This was done for both ideological and practical reasons. Worker participation, or industrial democracy, has been conceived as a means of democratising workplaces as well as of realising both intrinsic and extrinsic work values. This paper explores the experiences of two different forms of worker participation or employee involvement/empowerment schemes operating in two of Malta's leading enterprises: Malta Drydocks (MDD), an old ship-repair, state-owned company; and Micro-Malta (MM), the pseudonym for the local subsidiary of a foreign company producing micro-electronic components.
