abstract: 'Given consistent evidence of its social benefits but questions about its
market viability, this paper examines the conditions under which
workplace democracy can be understood as a ``real utopia{''''}; a viable
form of organization that is both economically productive and socially
welfare enhancing. Conceptualizing democratic firms as organizations
with formally distributed authority and collectivist norms, we argue
that democratic firms will operate more productively in knowledge
intensive industries, compared with conventional firms in the same
industries, because they give authority to those with relevant knowledge
and encourage intrafirm information sharing. Next, focusing on intrafirm
wage inequality as a key social welfare outcome, we argue that
knowledge-intensive sectors are also settings where the benefits of
workplace democracy are likely to be greater. Knowledge intensive
industries tend to generate greater intrafirm inequality through the
adoption of marketbased employment policies and reliance on unique
expertise, yet the formal structure and collectivist norms of democratic
firms are likely to limit thesemechanisms of inequality, generating
inequality reductions. We test these hypotheses with longitudinal linked
employer-employee data from French cooperatives and conventional firms,
including firms that shift organizational structures over time. We find
robust support for our hypothesis about economic performance andmoderate
support for our hypothesis about social performance.'
