Abstract
Over the past years, Employee Involvement (EI) in Greece entailed limited participation on the part of the workers in decision-making. Nonetheless, in the last decade some progress has been made in this connection, particularly within the subsidiaries of multinational companies (MNCs), thanks to the implementation of the European Works Council Directive (EWCD). In an attempt to provide a contribution to relevant literature through new research findings, this paper examines the factors that affect the effectiveness of EWCs. It is argued that there are some best practices which are associated with certain influencing factors concerning the nature of the MNCs as well as the structure of employee representation.
