TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the moderating effects of individual values on the relationships between participation in decision making and job attitudes for a sample of 2,755 employees from six manufacturing organizations.
Abstract: Support for this research was provided by the Scanlon Plan Associates. The authors are indebted to Dr. Carl Frost who directed the collection of the data and Dr. Frank Schmidt for his help and consideration with the study. The moderating effects of individual values on the relationships between participation in decision making and job attitudes were investigated for a sample of 2,755 employees from six manufacturing organizations. The correlations between participation in decision making and job attitudes were consistently positive and significant for the total sample and within the different value subgroups. No support was obtained for the hypothesized moderating effects of values on the relationships between participation and job attitudes. Possible methodological weaknesses are discussed, as well as the implication of these and other negative findings on generalizing about individual differences moderating this relationship.'

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the operation and effectiveness of the Scanlon Plan in a large manufacturing plant and combined a case-study approach with an interrupted timeseries design, and assessed productivity (measured as output per hour) level of employment, and voluntary turnover on a monthly basis.
Abstract: This article examines the operation and effectiveness of the Scanlon Plan in a large manufacturing plant. The research combined a case-study approach with an interrupted timeseries design. The researcher assessed productivity (measured as output per hour) level of employment, and voluntary turnover on a monthly basis during a seven and one-half to nineyear period. The results of the regression analysis indicated an abrupt positive change in productivity, followed by positive trends for two product lines. The plant's employment and turnover remained stable, in contrast to wider shifts for the industry. The Scanlon Plan paid consistent bonuses, and the production committees generated more than 2,477 suggestions, of which 70% were implemented.
