Using the World Bank and Chinese Academy of Social Science survey data, this study examines employee participation in management decision making in Chinese local industrial firms. It argues that it is not only important to study why workers should participate but also why they want to participate. Three modes of participation are defined through a factor analysis. These modes are further discussed in light of the Western participation literatures. They are then examined under three sets of conditions: socioeconomic status, institutional constraints, and policy attitudes. The findings suggest that workers' desire for participation is related to the possibility of maximizing individual benefits. They also show that under parallel conditions, workers often make opposite decisions concerning different modes of participation. Finally, in a nondemocratic environment, the impact of socioeconomic development on workplace participation is mixed.
