Summary/Abstract: Participation of employees in the organisation of their own enterprises manifests in three forms, that is, social dialogue, participation in the decision-making process and financial participation. While the first two forms have been structured normatively and institutionally, the way how financial participation turns into actual reality continues to be a subject for discussions. The authors present a number of international practices related to employees’ financial participation in their enterprises as well as the efforts to promote them at the level of the European Union. At the same time, they take notice that in Romania the advantages of such involvement of the employees are ignored, in spite of the problematic situation of the labour force and the worrying statistics regarding the low quality of life.
