"Über die Verbreitung und Kontextbedingungen von Betriebsräten und betriebsverfassungsrechtlich nicht abgesicherten 'Anderen Vertretungsorganen' (AVOs) liegen nur wenige durch empirische Breitenerhebungen gesicherte Informationen vor. Der Beitrag untersucht diese Aspekte auf Basis einer für Deutschland repräsentativen Erhebung von rund 3.200 Betrieben der Privatwirtschaft. Mit Hilfe theoretischer Vorüberlegungen werden mögliche Einflussfaktoren in verschiedenen Konzepten der Industrial Relations- und Organisationsforschung verortet und systematisiert. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass jeweils unterschiedliche Kontextfaktoren die Betriebrats- und AVO-Existenz erklären: Während Betriebsräte vor allem Ausdruck von Betriebsgrößen- und Branchendifferenzen, betrieblichen Entwicklungspfaden und berufskulturellen Orientierungen der Beschäftigten sind, stehen AVOs in engem Zusammenhang mit der Beteiligungsstrategie des Managements und betriebskulturellen Faktoren."

"There is little empirically validated knowledge about the coverage and contextual factors of workplace level employee representation - works councils (WC) and other representation bodies (ORBs) which are not legally based on the German Works Constitution Act. This article analyses both aspects by exploiting a representative survey data of approximately 3.200 workplaces in the German private sector. Coverage and contextual factors of employee representation structures are examined from the perspective of various theoretical models derived from industrial relations and organisational research. The article concludes that contextual factors differ considerably between WCs and ORBs: While the incidence of WCs depends mainly on firm size, industry, path dependence and employee related factors, the existence of ORBs is first of all related to the participation strategy of management and aspects of company culture."
