Project details
Short description
One of the goals of this project was to answer the question whether cooperatives are indeed organizational forms that foster behaviors that are related to high performance work practices or commitment-oriented behaviors. Our findings indicate that cooperatives and especially producer’s cooperatives are in fact such types of organizations. They more often engage in profit sharing and they invest more in the training of their employees than other organizations do (i.e. investor-owned firms).
