Description The main objective of this paper is to present the range of distribution of direct employee participation, its subject scope, and its eff ects in Polish enterprises. The fi rst part of the paper presents the essence of employee participation and its basic levels, measures and types. The paper also discusses the principal consultative and delegative forms of direct participation. Particular attention has been paid to the benefi ts resulting from the deployment of participatory methods of work organization in enterprises. The analysis in the study is primarily based on the results of our own survey and case studies conducted under the NCN funded project titled “The types, extent and economic eff ectiveness of direct forms of employee participation in Poland compared to the old EU countries.” Conducted analysis reveals a widespread use of forms of direct participation in Polish companies, but its scope and distribution have less intensity. The main motives for introducing forms of this participation in enterprises were economic reasons (productivity), and primary benefi t of its use was the improvement in quality of products and services.
