Abstract

Programmes of workers’ participation and profit-sharing may not be as powerful a motivation as ownership. Owners of the majority of shares might like to include managers, experts and routine workers among the shareholders. This study empirically examines the relationship between employee ownership, intrapreneurship, and firm growth. Results of the empirical analysis do not completely support the hypothesis of a positive association between employee ownership and intrapreneurship nor the hypothesis of a positive association between employee ownership and company growth. This study contributes to an improved understanding of the role of employee ownership.
