The growing self-management and producer co-operative literature tends to move from an idealized conception of the democratic possibilities of the market, through an analysis of the purely formal democratic structures of co-operative organizations, to a positivist analysis of the assumed changes in workers' attitudes towards the enterprise. This paper is devoted to showing the divergent possibilities for self-management and producer co-operatives at the economic level, organizational level, and in terms of workers' own expectations and experiences. At the level of the economy the plan versus market debate is considered; at the level of the organization stress is placed on the importance of changes in technology and the division of labour; the ambivalence revealed in self-managed enterprises towards trade unionism is examined; finally, with regard to workers involvement in self-managed organizations, the importance of participatory democracy is emphasized. In considering the range of co-operative philosophies, forms and activities, the possible directions of future co-operative development are presented.

A field study was conducted in the United States, England, and Ghana assessing the frequency of use and rated value of social interaction. Twenty-two American, twenty-six English, and nineteen Ghanaian workers from similar manufacturing plants participated in the study. Behavioral observations of the frequency of engaging in social interaction over a 14-day period as well as a survey of the importance of social interaction to the workers served as the dependent variables. The results confirmed the hypothesis that the frequency of use and rated importance of social interaction is culturally dependent. The role of societal norms and values is discussed within the framework of Organizational Behavior Modification. © 1984, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
