These three papers were presented at a symposium on high-involvement work teams moderated by Michael Leimbach at the 1996 conference of the Academy of Human Resource Development. "Beyond Training to the New Learning Environment: Workers on the High-Involvement Frontline" (Joseph Anthony Ilacqua, Carol Ann Zulauf) shows the link between an individual's learning capabilities and an organization's learning and adaptation in a study of workers in a new training program as a company makes the transition from training to learning and as the individuals learn to grow continuously, develop, and problem solve. "Levels of Desired, Actual, and Perceived Control of Employee Involvement in Decision Making: An Empirical Investigation" (William M. Kahnweiler, Margaret A. Thompson) uses data from 826 nonmanagers to explore the effects of age, education, and gender on the desired and actual levels of employee involvement in decision making. The study showed that age and education, but not gender, appear to be an influence. In "The Contribution of Self Managing Work Teams to a Learning Organization" (Jeanette A. B. Huisman et al.), the work processes of fitters and electricians in an energy distribution company in the Netherlands are studied, with the goal being to improve the processes and to shift responsibilities to lower levels of the organization.
