European Works Councils after two decades
本文回顾了欧洲劳资联合委员会指令实施20年来的研究文献，指出多数研究集中于制造业和劳工角色，对管理层作用及与其他雇佣关系层面的互动了解不足，为未来研究指明方向。
The European Works Council Directive was adopted over 20 years ago, and a voluminous body of research has developed on this relatively new institution. This article reviews the most cited literature in order to consider our state of understanding of this research field and to identify gaps in our knowledge. Most research has focused on a limited number of European Works Councils, mainly in manufacturing, and on labour actors. We still know little about the interplay between European Works Councils and other levels of employment relations, the role of management in their working and their effects on substantive employment relations outcomes. By taking stock of current knowledge, we aim to advance future directions and possibilities for research on this theme.
