Is workplace democracy associated with wider pro-democracy affect? A structural equation model
用结构方程模型检验员工参与工作场所决策能否提升对民主的积极态度，发现工作场所民主与政治兴趣和亲民主情感正相关，且不受工会会员身份影响。
Using structural equation modelling, this article examines the hypothesis that employees can learn about democracy through employee participation in workplace decision-making, thus resulting in more positive attitudes toward democracy in the wider political arena. The research finds that workplace democracy is strongly positively associated with increased interest in politics and wider pro-democracy affect. This result holds true even when controlling for reverse causality and the confounding influence of trade union membership. The article suggests that work can have an important effect on wider governance at the level of the community and the state.
