摘要

Australian Robens-style OHS legislation requires that management assess the possible OHS consequences of organisational change and it encourages a collaborative approach to problem-solving between management, workers and their representatives to make the working environment healthy and safe. Ensuring that collaboration is effective and that workers and management are able to resolve workplace difficulties is therefore a focus of activity for many organisations. Organisational theory presents organisational change as being led by powerful, transformational leaders and change agents at senior management level. However, organisational change does not necessarily emanate from senior management, nor is it necessarily controlled or even guided by them. The role of shop-floor workers as change agents is critical in organisational change, but rarely recognised; they are the lost leaders of organisational change. Shop-floor workers are significant people in any organisation but they have little or no positional power, and they may have limited autonomy and job control. Nonetheless, in certain circumstances they can be a powerful influence for change towards improved working environments, this is particularly so when their boundaries of power and autonomy are allowed to increase. This paper reports on a three-year, longitudinal, processual action research study into the role of worker-level change agents in the generation and implementation of organisational change. Drawing on the literature, it concludes that healthier workplaces can be the outcome when management recognises the value of worker-level change agents and when workers and management collaboratively manage the internal political environment of organisations.
