Under its own programme of activity for 1980, 1981 and 1982, the European
Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions promoted
a study to examine the role of the parties concerned in the design and
implementation of new forms of work organisation. This research was
developed along the following guide-lines:
- An 'in-depth' analysis of the phenomenon in question, as it appears in
tangible form within individual companies, and within the various legal
and procedural frameworks (case studies);
An examination of situations in which organisation is significantly
dynamic, so as to better underline the actual impact of the respective
roles of the interested parties, in 'open' flexible contexts (greenfield
sites, introduction of new technology etc.).
- Taking into consideration all parties interested in the process of change,
and their inter-action at different levels (management, the intermediate
cadres, technicians, trade union delegations, 'ad hoc' bodies, consultants
etc.).
The study was carried out in seven countries by the following researchers,
coordinated by project manager Vittorio Di Martino:
- A work group from the University of Wuppertal and from the Tavistock
Institute of Human Relations in London (Federal Republic of Germany, and
Great Britain)
- Institut Europeen pour Concepteurs Industriels - IECI, in Strasburg (France) - 2
Research Centre in Industrial Economies - CREL; Economie and Social h and Analysis - ARPES; and the Institute for Studies on Economic
Development and Technical Progress - ISVET, in Rome (Italy)
Intervisie e Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (Holland)
Universite Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium)
Teknologisk Institut in Copenhagen (Denmark)
A synthesis report, prepared by G. Della Rocca from the Institute of Research
on Intervention on Organisational Systems - RSO - in Milan, completes the
national studies.
The results of this research were evaluated by government, business and trade
union representatives during a seminar in Dublin on 22/23 September 1983,
with subsequent approval of the synthesis report by the Foundation's reading
Committee on 28 June 1984. The opinion of each group of representatives is
given in a document entitled "Evaluation Report".
The Foundation wishes to emphasise that the analyses and opinions contained
in this study are the sole responsibility of the authors. EVALUATION REPORTS EUROPEAN FOUNDATION FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF LIVING AND WORKING CONDITIONS
