ABSTRACT:
This title is somewhat misleading, because this volume in the series on trends in organisational behaviour does not really look at "employee versus owner issues". Instead it addresses a somewhat narrower question - something like, "What are the organisational consequences of employee involvement?" Indeed the seven chapters here are even more focused, since they only consider financial involvement and ownership. As the back cover suggests, this volume does explore, "whether employees should be stakeholders in their businesses". However, it does not quite get as far as, "the relationship between employees and owners in general" (also on the back cover). Nonetheless, as one would expect from such an illustrious editorial pairing as Cooper and Rousseau, each chapter would repay careful reading and certainly be useful for students, academics and practitioners with an interest in reward systems and financial ownership. I shall sketch each chapter in turn, before trying to say what I think this book's good points are, and what it is lacking.
