摘要

尽管工人合作社被认为是私营公司改革资本主义的可靠替代品,但学者们才开始记录合作化所固有的斗争——私营公司向合作形式过渡的过程。本文分析了高管如何通过塑造和捕获治理结构来阻止实践中的实际合作。根据对两家采用合作形式的私营公司的35次采访、观察和焦点小组,我们记录了高管们用来防止合作的一系列治理实践:大会权力下放、董事会中立化和执行委员会巩固。然后,我们解释了这些做法是如何相互作用,形成民主治理预防的螺旋,从而产生虚假的工人合作社。这些结果通过解释高管和治理在防止合作中的作用,为合作研究做出了贡献。我们的研究扩大了工人合作社病态的范围,并提供了政治和组织杠杆来限制合作化预防和高管对治理结构的控制现象。

EXPRESS: Fast and spurious: How executives capture governance structures to prevent cooperativization
Although workers’ cooperatives are regarded as credible alternatives to private companies to reform capitalism, scholars have only started to document the struggles inherent to cooperativization – the process by which private companies transition to cooperative forms. This paper analyses how executives prevent actual cooperativization in practice by shaping and capturing governance structures. Relying on 35 interviews, observations, and focus groups of two private firms having adopted cooperative forms, we document a set of governance practices used by executives to prevent cooperativization: general assembly disempowerment, board neutralisation, and executive committee entrenchment. We then explain how these practices interact to form a spiral of democratic governance prevention that generate spurious workers cooperatives. These results contribute to cooperative studies by explaining the role of executives and governance in preventing cooperativization. Our study enlarges the repertoire of worker cooperatives pathologies and offers political and organisational levers to limit the phenomena of cooperativization prevention and executives’ capture of governance structures.
