Part 1 of the volume contains three papers on the subject of job design and organizational performance, covering the determinants of multiskilling from a theoretical perspective and also the empirical effect of multiskilling and teams on financial performance. Part 2 of the volume concerns compensation, worker attitudes, and productivity. Papers in this section cover the effect of rules and costs on employer-provided health insurance, majority ownership and executive compensation, worker attitudes towards different forms of employee ownership and variable pay, and an analysis of performance-related pay, unions, and productivity in Italy. Part 3 contains three studies of worker cooperatives and nonprofit organizations in Italy, Spain, and Uruguay. The volume concludes with a debate on free trade and the ecological effects of alternative socio-economic systems. 410 0$aAdvances in the economic analysis of participatory and labor-managed firms. 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xLabor$2bisacsh 606 $aLabour economics$2bicssc 606 $aEmployment & unemployment$2bicssc 606 $aManagement$xEmployee participation 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xLabor. 615 7$aLabour economics. 615 7$aEmployment & unemployment. 615 0$aManagement$xEmployee participation. 676 $a658.3/152/05 701 $aDeVaro$b Jed$01568037 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789723803321 996 $aAdvances in the economic analysis of participatory and labor-managed firms$93856086 997 $aUNINA
