Working with Images: The Theoretical Base of Archetypal Psychology (Classics in Archetypal Psychology, 4)

The eleventh volume of Advances in the Economic Analysis of Participatory & Labor-Managed Firms comprises ten original research papers on a broad range of topics within the area of participatory organizations. The first paper uses a novel data set from a large multinational firm to look at an important, yet not well understood question: what determines employees decisions to join employee share ownership plans? Three contributions deal with the adoption and consequences of new work organizations with a higher degree of involvement and decision-making authority of the employees. Another set of three papers is concerned with the performance impact of stock-based compensation schemes and the impact of Japan s lost decade on union wage permia. Two papers report research on recent challenges facing two specific participatory organizations: the worker-owned cooperative and the kibbutz.
